Katelyn - glad that you and the girls made it back safely. Loved your description and photos as always unless I missed it you didn’t say where you are - regards, Fred
It’s interesting to hear your perspective, and yet I’m sure you are not the only Americans who left the states for a new and exciting cultural experience… finding yourself comparing it to America, only to be racking up points for the new country. Then dreading the return to the states, leaving all your accumulated high points back in Japan, expecting the worst in the USA… only to once again find the perks.
It supports the healthy philosophy of finding “good” in your day and know it’s what you make of the ups and downs that make the difference. 💜💜 Glad you’re enjoying your time together being reunited with this country again. 💜
You can’t appreciate a warm, sunny day until you’ve experienced a cold, rainy one.
Glad to hear you’re doing well with all the adjustments. I laughed to myself about the bowing as that is something my friends have called me out on whenever I get back to the states. You’ll have to be very careful about the Japanese restaurant choices as most in the US are owned by Koreans or Chinese. We managed to find a few owned by Japanese and the higher quality of the food was noticeable. Don’t even get me started on the soy sauce and wasabi. lol.
I miss you guys already! Hope to see you guys again sometime soon.
Welcome back! Loved hearing about all your adventures. Hope the transition back to the states is a smooth one for all. N would love to chat with G this summer.
