My final week at work:

I must say I will really miss my students and it's a shame that I must leave this school now. But I choose to do what is right for me, and so I will move on with my life.
Part of me still wants to live in Japan for another year, but another part is itching to go back to North America or Europe.
Back home I can run with a tank top and not get weird looks. Also I can kiss someone in public, or sing.
Seriously.. if you do anything that would be considered "normal" back home it's strange and perhaps socially unacceptable here.
I see children after the age of 10 losing all their creativeness and humour. They are forced to conform.. "be cookie cut" like everyone else.
Their individuality lost forever... if you ever teach kids in Japan, you will understand what I mean. If I am totally wrong on this... please let me know.

I will miss all my students, but not working for the company. "The big G" stay away.. if you are considering working for them.

Meh.. but I must say I was lucky, because my friends, who also started out with the same company had horror stories to tell me.

I will not go into that now though, instead I will think about all the good times and look forward to the future.. and my four week holiday.

YATTA!!!
