Adventures in Japan

Day the Rest of Our Lives: Canada

This will not be broken up into days, because this is a blog about our adventures in Japan and seeing as we are no longer in Japan this log is pretty much done but Japan is in us now. So if Japan is always in us now, then we will always be in it. Or maybe not, I didn't pay too much attention during my logic classes.

But these are our thoughts as fresh off the plane re-inductees into Canadian life. Saskatchewanian life.

Dear god this place is big and flat. The sky goes on forever, there is a depth to everything that we had forgotten about.

The nights are colder than I remember. Not cold. But an overshirt is never a bad idea.

Lumsden beach is still one of my favourite places in the world.

The food is big in size and flavour (except for airport food, the most money I've ever paid for the least flavour), the beer is better than we remember.

Umeshu is loved by everyone.

Nathan and Crystal's wedding was a great. And a great way to get re-acclimated. Perogies! Caesars! Country and Western music! (seriously? Honky Tonk Badonkadonk? Really?) If someone could somehow harness Crystal's energy we would never ever have an energy crisis ever again. That girl is amazing!

Our tiny Japanese stomachs took way less time adjusting to North American serving sizes than we would have liked.

Puppies are cute.

Puppies are not cute when they pee all over the place.

We've seen hot, still days (perfect for a wedding on a beach), thunderstorms, driving rain, beautiful sunsets, lovely sunrises and all sorts of other weather. None of it sticky.

Less than a week in and I've already been visited by folks wanting to help me better understand the bible (It is never the bible though, it is their bible). They never give me a satisfactory answer vis a vis their policy on zombies.

A note to the people in Japan: I have a copy of Rock Band for PS3. I just need to get a PS3 now.

Pop music is so much better when you can't understand the lyrics.
