As my time here in Japan comes to a close, my birthday arrived. My thoughtful husband decided to plan a surprise birthday party at one of my favorite places, gyu-kaku. This birthday has become bittersweet as we plan for our return stateside, I will truly miss Japan. I have learned how to embrace this wonderful culture and it may be more difficult to return home than I ever imagined. I have enjoyed my travels during my time here. I hope I can continue my worldwide exploration after my return to the states. I have made wonderful friends in my time here and hope to see them at future installations. If you ever have a chance to visit Japan make sure you visit the places off the main tourist areas. Some of my favorite spots are not well known, but can be easily found with research online. I am glad that I have been enriched with this experience and blessed with such wonderful friends.
