how do you measure a year?
For us the year was measured through your eyes, blogs, phone calls and emails. Through your ups and downs, successes and not... Your accomplishments, your realized dreams and attained goals. Our hearts are pounding with the anticipation of your arrival tomorrow. We are busting our buttons, so to speak with all that you have done, accomplished but more importantly with who you are. It seems that we sent away a boy and truly have a man returning. We know there is so much more to these 10 months than were written in your blog and we know what it took to work through the struggles and turn them into triumphs. Bravo to you, our son, Bravo!

See ya on the 21st
Interesting, very interesting. One of the things you were particularly interested in finding out was WWII from their perspective. Guess you found some answers.

Yasunkuni
We also visited the memorial while in Tokyo with your Host Father. Similar sentiments from him to us. The festival was being set up and it was a carnival like atmosphere. The yellow lanterns are not the names of the deceased soldiers, but rather the names and sentiments of those who come there to visit the loved ones buried there. As with the rest of what we saw in Japan, such a mix of the old and new. Almost as if Japan does not know where to fit in. Interesting. xox mom

circle
this circle and your membership in it has contributed greatly to your blossoming in the Japanese culture. I am thrilled that you had the foresight to evaluate and join, regardless of the initial differences and difficulties with language, customs etc. Again, you made an excellent choice for yourself, and for them also. They have benefited greatly from you membership also.

ramen
ok, so it escapes me how they eat all of these carbs and greasy stuff and still remain stick thin. I will have to chose carefully, not as adventerous as my son. xo

No Man is an Island
I read an article recently about Japan continuing to be one of the few truly homogeneous populations remaining in the modern world. Sounds like you are experiencing both the wonder and the frustration of both sides of this coin. It is difficult to imagine as our culture is so diverse and heterogeneous - but a unique experience which will serve you well. Sending a kiss and a hug - "Mrs. Migliaccio". :)

Trees
This looks beautiful. I used to love the cherry blossoms in DC in the Spring (they were a gift from the Japanese) and these are showy and fantastic. Happy Easter to you! Can you believe only 4 more months until you are home again? PS - NYC can be a bit of a death trap. . . xo Auntie M and Uncle Mark

Beer
Hi Emanuel: Reading this during the SuperBowl and Uncle Mark wants you to know he loves a good Molson Canadian! Just back from New Hampshire from a great restaurant that had no less than 20 beers, some microbrews and regionals on tap. The North Country seems to have a strange affinity for homebrews and quality - when you get home I strongly recommend a trip to Maine, Vermont or New Hampshire. Keep smiling.
