I know I will miss Japan a lot when I go home...I have gone home before after a year here and it is a huge reverse culture shock...but hopefully I am getting a little bit more used to it now!!! But I know I will be back, which is a comforting thought for me! Frogdancer: I am sure having more space when am back in Australia is going to be one of the best things about it! I will just have to check to see if I remember how to drive since I rarely drive here...especially not in Tokyo!!! The kids I teach are ESL kids (most of the time) but some are also native speakers and there is such a great mix, and it is so fun to see them communicate in English especially when some of them speak a completely different language at home!!! Ian: I am glad you liked Tokyo! Was it your first time? I hope you had a safe trip home! Thanks to Snoskred, for putting my post up!

I teach ESL kids, and I know for sure that I couldn't move to another country with a different languge. (Holidays are different... then it just adds to the fun.) I hope that things continue to be fun for you. Enjoy that extra space! I think you’re so brave. I teach ESL kids, and I know for sure that I couldn’t move to another country with a different languge.

But each place I'm sure has conveniences and beauties that are all their own. Wow - talk about culture shock! But each place I’m sure has conveniences and beauties that are all their own.
