I have decided..I'm not coming home...

---

I am really sad about leaving Japan (yes, the title was a joke). I have had the most unbelievable 5 weeks and the end has just come around far too fast for my liking!

My last week has been great though, spending time with all my lovely Nihon-jin tamatchi(Japanese friends).

So, 2 days left in Tokyo Japan...what shall I do...go to Disneyland of course!
As soon as you enter through those gates your life officially becomes worry free and Mickey Mouse is real...
My favourite rides will always be Space Mountain (fast fast roller coaster in the dark amongst many stars) and It's A Small World (a very slow boat ride that takes you through the different cultures and countries in the world)...slight contrast I know...

My last day in Japan was spent shopping and soaking up as much of this sugoe (amazing) country as possible, and storing it securely in my head...

My last night in Japan was spent sharing a beautiful dinner with my friend Eri and two of her friends, one (Ken) who I met in my first week in Japan.

Eri knew the chef at this fancy restaurant, so I had vegetarian dishes made especially for me! They even treated me to it...I am a tottemo lucky girl...

So I guess this is goodbye Japan...even though I really don't want to. I will really miss being surrounded by the language (and many hot Japanese guys...).
You and your people have given me the most fantastic month and have certainly left me wanting to return...English lessons anyone?

Photos

Minnie Mouse...
They were very excited about having their photo taken with Minnie...

Stuck...
It did kind of ruin the flow of things when we got stuck on Thunder Mountain...

My final meal...
I really will miss the food..even though it is so difficult being vegetarian...
