Well, we are nearing the end of our sojourn in Japan. The whole family have now had the flu and we are in various stages of recovery. Packing is continuing, albeit slowly and somewhat haphazardly. Boxes are wending their way homeward with more to come. There is still a lot to do and we are trying not to think about it too much.
This has been a very difficult 12 months. I wouldn't recommend to anyone bringing a new baby to a foreign country, even one as advanced as Japan. The loss of family and friends at such a critical time is too much of a blow to bear, really. In many ways we have been like prisoners in our own house, too tired to travel on weekends. Or its been just too difficult to get organised to go anywhere.
So my fondest memories are probably reserved for our first trips here, the times spent wizzing from city to city by train, the temple and museum visits, the trudging home late from a full day outing. Even just dropping in to a pub. Oh, my misspent very late youth!
