I was in love with the exotic and excitement of Japan when I first came here. The terrifying unknown. A world beyond that which I know.
I've been forced to make a decision -- I must either leave Japan or leave my husband. I never thought things would come to this, but they have. Leaving everyone and everything you know to interact in a country where men have all the power, communism still prevails, and English is non-existent must be met with an extreme desire to be there. I never had that.
I've been unhappy for so long and never knew why. Japan has brought it all into the open – and with mixed emotions I will be leaving in the first half of the year.
My writings will soon come to a close. My adventures have been had.
Le Japon aura toujours un endroit spécial à mon coeur. Mais il est temps de dire au revoir.
