Home Sick

It's been about 5 months since I've left Japan.
All I can say is I miss Japan.
I find myself comparing everything to where I was in Kobe, Japan.
I miss being able to ride my bike.
I miss taking the train, especially to Osaka :)
I miss walking to wherever I needed to go.

I love my current job, and because I get to work from home, I wish I was able to go to Japan and just work from there when I have long periods where I have to work from home like this.

The benefits of public transportation were a big plus for me. I don't like driving much.
So for example, now anywhere I need to go takes at least 30 min. by car. Not cool.
I can go from Sannomiya to Umeda in that time!! And I don't have to drive!

I don't physically like working at home, so trying to find a cafe or somewhere with wi-fi is pain since everything is so far apart. My adjustment time is going to double because of this, because all I think about everyday is Japan. All I think about how easy it was from my apartment in Shinkobe to go to Sannomiya and find some cool cafe to just sit and chill in.

I'll just ride it out.

I miss Kobe.

I miss Osaka.

I've got to get back soon.

I miss Japan.

I'm home sick.
