Now it's almost three month since I got back to Sweden, but it wasn't until a few days ago I started to miss Japan. Mostly, I think, because of Pernilla and Lam’s blog. I write in English so that those that didn’t manage to learn Swedish during our time in Japan still can read it. I do know that my English spelling is poor, so Elina, mamma and Weston can just be quiet…

This is my summary of those 303 posts I wrote while in Japan.

Best memories: Drink-bar nights at CoCo’s

Worst memories: Lonely nights of home sickness

Best day: The day we were at the park the whole day and just lay under the trees.

Worst day: I actually don’t have one specific, just a lot of the once concerning “worst memories”.

Biggest disappointment: Chiba University and their way of administrating the exchange students.

Most proud moment: First time me and Maru manage to have a whole conversation (yes we can!).

Most ashamed of: David’s birthday…

Scariest moment: Going to get morning-after-pills.

Money well spent: First trip to Hokkaido.

Money less well spent: The clothes I bought are not suited for Sweden.

Money wasted: The ryoukan-trip I could have lived without. No fun when the one you go with just complains.

Favorite place: The park at Inage kaigan (you didn’t think that right? You all just thought “Plumeria”).

Biggest surprise: Coffee in a can!

First “I don’t want to go home”-moment: When Weston came down from their room with his computer because he had something that he just HAD to show me since he knew that I would love it.

Best story to tell my children: When me and Andrea went to Shinagawa.

It’s a small world after all-moment: Sitting next to a girl from Linköping on the plane home.

Wanted more of: Karaoke-nights

Wanted less of: Rain.

Misses the most: The food

First thing I ate in Sweden: Kebab pizza

The things I missed in Japan that turned out to be not so good when I came back: Nothing, everything I missed was better than I remembered.

Things that Swedes need to learn from the Japanese: Be service-minded!

Well...this didn't turn out the way I thought it would, but...it'll do for now. I miss you guys, even if I'm bad at keeping in touch (but so are you hehe :P).
