it was at the 5month mark where i had to choose whether or not to extend my visa a further 6months..i bit the bullet and decided to stay...now at 7months i cant believe i ever thought the way i did! i dont know exacly why i had such feelings and why i feel different about japan now but i feel as if i jumped over some sort of hurdle..i still have my days but overall, im super happy to be here! |
That's pretty common... for some people that feeling comes after a month and lasts a little while, for others it may come after a couple years and last even longer. We call it "Japan burnout" and have seen it time and time again.
