I'm turning Japanese...again....

So here goes. My attempts to get back to Japan, and the blogging of those adventures.

I promised that this blog would be back and so it is.

I hope to record my highs and lows, observations and adventures.

But first of all, I have to try and get back to Japan. One of my friends once described leaving Japan like the Malcolm McDowell character in Star Trek Generations. In that movie, Mcdowell plays an alien scientist who is attempting to get back to the Nexus, a kind of spacial Shangri-La. All he can think about is getting back there. The experience he has had there consumes him.

Of course, my time in Japan had a profound effect on me. Not that I am going to destroy planets and Sun's to return there. For one, it's probably too expensive, especially when I am attempting to save.

Seriously though, I felt that I had left something behind in Japan. And I did literally. 90% of my posessions. But I am talking here more about a part of myself. I know that if I do manage to get back then it will be different, but the same.

Usually I believe in the addage that you should never go back. But I left Japan, not under my own need to leave. My Mum had passed away and my family needed me. Now I have to make the opportunity for myself to go back to where I want to be.

Of course, Rie is another huge factor. But she deserves a post on her own, and I don't want to do her a misjustice in one post.

I have applied to AEON, GABA, EEC, and more schools than I can remember. I have an interview with AEON on the 25th October; an interview with Peppy Kids on the 28th and EEC have interview dates in November.

So please enjoy the ride.

And cross your fingers for me!
