So, summer is here but it's not actually hot yet and I've been spending a lot of time hanging around my apartment after a full day's teaching and biking. It's so nice to have my windows and door wide open before the cicadas emerge for the season. When they do, nights here are filled with the sound of constant buzzing and wings flapping awkwardly towards the lights located outside my apartment. I'll only be here for another month and a half so if anything I'll just catch a glimpse of the full-on summer heat and bugs. I don't think I'll miss either of these things too much.
These days, however, I am thinking a lot about the good people that I am about to leave in Japan.
Although I know that moving on from this experience is good for me, many of my thoughts will remain with those who have I've shared this unique life with- one that can only be truly understood unless you have been here, living it first hand.
