Right. Just to make sure I'm clear, I overall loved my time in Japan, it was one of the best times in my life. But after 2 years, I was ready to come home, and despite very fond memories, I haven't been back in the past 10 years (though I'd like to go back for a visit, if I had more time and money...) I'm just trying to explain that dichotomy... "I loved it but I was ready to leave it" sometimes doesn't make sense to people.
