I miss the feeling I had when I was in Tokyo, or Japan for that matter. I felt completely free, devoid of the issues back home:work, neighbors, drama, etc. Could I feel the same if I were in Madrid or Malawi? Yes, of course! I'm away from it all, but I decided Japan was going to be my vacation destination and there ya go. My fourth time, in country, will be in March, in time to commemorate the anniversary of the earthquake. I may even be in Sendai that day, who knows....
