Sayoonara

Well, I am mostly packed. My suitcase is full and all that is left to do is pack my laptop, cameras, a book, iPod, and assorted items that I am carrying onto the plane with me. It has been an amazing vacation and I cannot thank my boss enough for not laughing at me months ago when I first asked for so much time away from work. I did so many things, learned so much, and met so many people on this trip that Tokyo has become like a second home to me.

So this isn't "Goodbye" Tokyo (and Japan) this is "So long and I'll see you again" because I fully intend to return to my new home some day. But before I go I would like to give a little advice:

1) Things that do not belong on pizza are mayonaise, fried eggs, boiled eggs, sarad (or salad), tuna, and corn.

2) A large drink usually means something bigger than a dixie cup.

3) The person on the other end of the phone cannot see you bow.
