I'm surprised - may be because I didn't pay attention somewhere. 'I might be busy' as said Natsuko in her Japanese course podcast. I'm overloaded with information - information that flows as it said here from one part of the world to another.
So you did consider coming back after all ?
It's taken me too long to become aware of your blog, though I've had it bookmarked for quite some time. Your words about the streets of Tokyo and the indecision that results from thinking about whether to leave or stay in Japan after a long time here ring very deeply true. It's a very strange predicament, to be constantly stretching this way and that, never really knowing where you belong, and what it is about the places you long for that calls to you. I have a love/ hate relationship with Japan, even though I've been here, on and off, since 1969. There are times when it is a beautiful country, at other times a spiritual disaster. I never know what to do, especially because, unlike you, my German birthplace is only an anecdote in my life... I have lived here in Japan through most of my life.
Your post is quite old now, so I wonder what you ended up doing?
