Little things I will miss...(one of surely more to come)

I will miss...

七夕、or Tanabata, the Star Festival. Kids write their wishes for the year on strips of paper and tie them bamboo trees around the school. It's cute and pretty at the same time.

the perfect western view I get of the setting sun over the mountains in my apartment.

salmon eggs, eel, and fermented soy beans in my regular diet. Foods I'd never thought I'd love but now can't get enough of.

my yoga class. I don't know if I'll ever find a class that suits me better than Hideyo's.

the smell of tatami in the summer.

Japanese trains. Even the slow local ones.

being called "メリー先生”
