They're not so much crawling all over you. It's more like.. you're walking down a nice quiet road and you hear what sounds like helicopter coming over your head, then you see a wasp the size of the palm of your hand fly over you. I used to hate wasps, but I'm no longer scared of them after experiencing the giant ones in Japan.




I had also never seen cockroach before visiting Japan. That freaked me out.

I still study Japanese where and when I can but I'm in and ammongst my final year of Uni doing my dissertation ontop of working 3 jobs... so it kind of gets pushed to the back of the to do list. I listen to audio lessons when I'm driving around and I sometimes have Japanese language audio on my "sound asleep" pillow, just incase. But anything like videogames, facebook etc are always done in Japanese to keep me in touch.

I'd love to go back, I've even been offered a job there once I've finished my NQT year, but I'm not sure I could live there full time. Once the amazing becomes the normal, is it still so amazing?

Top tip: take some sun lotion with you as they don't really sell it in Japan, and where they do, it's always less than 100ml bottle and it works out about 7 quid a pop. If you're a true Yorkshire-man like me, You'll begrudge handing that over lol. I'd rather burn


I'm sorry for all the bad stuff I said and all the feelings I hurt.. Please forgive me
