will&wont

i wont miss squat toilets and the perpetual urine smell in bathrooms. i'll miss heated toilet seats. i wont miss riding in the rain. i'll miss riding the train. i wont miss random men speaking himi-ben. i'll miss random boys saying "you are cute". i wont miss the lack of central heating. i'll miss my kotatsu [heated table]. i wont miss eating alone 2 meals a day. i'll miss eating lunch with the sweet kiddos.i wont miss the staring [especially from old fogies]. i'll miss the staring [especially from attractive young guys]. i wont miss school lunch of rice&death. i'll miss shangri la [my FAV indian restaurant!!]. i wont miss impolite english. i'll miss engrish. i wont miss cooking without an oven. i'll miss my super microwave oven which can bake oishii banana bread and chocolate chip cookies. i wont miss sitting alone in train stations waiting for my connection. i'll miss playing word games with ann at takaoka train station.

i wont miss the whistling noise my sliding porch door makes in windstorms. i'll miss my amazing view during windstorms. i wont miss having no anonymity. i'll miss having no anonymity [bc its like being a movie star]. i wont miss the sun streaming in at 6am making me sweat before i wake up. i'll definitely miss seeing that sunrise on the rare occasion that i come home at 4:30am. i wont miss not being able to drive. i'll miss sitting shotgun when someone fun is driving in the seat next to me.i wont miss j-pop. i'll miss live jazz. i wont miss annoying teachers. i'll miss my amazing friends.i'll miss himi like whoa.
