I want my Tokyo!

United Kingdom From United Kingdom More from United Kingdom on July 4, 2009

Is it posibl to fall in love with country? Yes t is possible, because i love Japan and now i suffer becaue I can not be there, but instead I am in UK. I do not want to be here, I want to be in Japan. But I have no idea how to arrange this to stay long.

It is too short for me if I stay even 3 months, as long as my visa let me. I must do few things to make it happen, to be able to stay in Japan at least for 6 months or year ...or longer if I am really lucky. I must speak Japanese well, this is first thing. Second, I need to pass some official exam to be able to teach English in Japan. This is not career I deam about, but I am an art historian from education and I have master degree too. BUt do they need art historians as skilful workers? I don't think so....

That is why I study Japanee now and I try to polish my English as well. In Japan I feel the best and most happy. It is my home. Every time I travel to Japan, and I do like so twice a year, I fel so bad that I must come back to Europe. I am sitting in plane and tears fall from my eyes. It must look so silly but I can not help it.

Thare are always adventures and special places to see in Japan. I went to many places which are far from typical tourist ways and I am glad, because I can see real Japan and people who are good and kind. And I do not mind even if they look at me like at alien when I go to some small villae in the middle of Wakayama mountains. Not alien, rather tengu haha...

I miss food and sound of Tokyo metro, Ueno park and Ameyoko with shouting salesmen. I miss Tsukiji market and Asakusa...and Minami Azabu which was my Tokyo home by 2 months. I must come back to Tokyo asap. How about Autumn? I will try...
