A false beginning

I've been in Japan 1 1/2 years now and sometimes it feels like I've been here forever, while other times it feels like I've just arrived. Every day is a new challenge or something new to experience and learn from. I'm so excited that my sister is traveling to Thailand next week - she's never been to Asia and I look forward to seeing how it changes her. I'll be visiting her there and it'll be different since she'll have been there and I never have. I can't wait to learn something new and eat fantastic food!
