After 288 days in Japan (about 9.5 months), I'm finally starting to feel like I could really live in Japan for a longer period of time. Of course, there are still many ups and downs that I encounter living here, but it's something that I have been thinking more and more about lately. However, as much as I have adjusted to living in Japanese there are still a couple things that I have not become adjusted to quite yet...nor do I think I can adjust to soon.
