You know you've left Japan when the showers and baths don't seem as hot, efficiency is a lost concept, the people aren't as nice (in all ways) and rudeness and stupidity rule the day.
On the plus side, my iPhone works, I can drive here and my broadband connection is stable.
(sigh) welcome home...
Really sorry I missed you this time! March is always a busy month for people living in Japan, didn't you know that?
Why don't you try for the Awaodori in Tokushima this summer?
