I’ve had an odd relationship with Japan since I was 14…
Anime…
A girlfriend…
Three months there…
Don’t watch anime, broke up with the girl years ago, but I cant get Japan out of my mind, I miss Tokyo’s urban sprawl (and I’m a country lad!, a willing one!) I miss the mish-mash of light and noise, I miss seeing Fuji with my own two peepers, I miss the vertical nature of the country, I miss the 7/11’s and other staples of Japanese retail every other corner, I miss that “rural” shrine in the “country” (where there’s still enough houses to warrent an urban label anywhere else) and most of all I miss real Yakisoba and Japanese rice.
Sigh
Maybe I’ll go for a short break, and go up the Tokyo tower again and see the city at sunset again…
