Kayumi to bai bai

Well, it's bye bye to itching, and it's bye bye to Japan.

The days has arrived, and despite the very short and busy build up I can't believe is is happening. I don't think this will be the end of my life in Japan, I see myself being back here soon. I just need some time away to plan and make it work.

Anyway, in two hours and twenty-five minutes I'll be leaving to catch a plane back to London. It'll be strange being back but there are many things to look forward to- friends to catch up with, being able to buy trousers that fit and are size small rather than large. I have to look for the positive because if I think of the things I'll miss about Japan I'll start to weep again.

See you in England. I'll update on the last few days in Japan then while sobbing into a tissue in as masculine a fashion as I can manage...
