Japan does not have Alfredo sauce, or Tomato sauce, Stonyfield yogurt, Granola, or Emergen-C's. Hannah asks everyday if it is Christmas time yet, because she wants to go to TN. There are no Massage Therapists here giving Relaxation Swedish Massage (except me), which is my favorite type. If you want something as simple as white vinegar, it is not simple to find. If you think you are buying butt wipes for Hannah, you get home and see the inside cover shows that it is for wiping the toilet seat only. The clothes here are the size of junior high girls in U.S., and they do not sell size 9 shoes. There is no girl friendly gym to lift weights in here. Even if the day is not hot, the humidity still draws the pimples out of your face. Adam does not get home until it is time to go to bed, and he leaves before it is time to get up. The mosquito's are after you day and night, so you have to keep moving if you are outside. The spiders that get in the house jump, so it is very hard to exterminate them. Walking out of your house is always a given that you will be stared at, because you are a foreigner. Living here is missing out on all the family celebrations and home cooked meals, no girls night out, and not many hugs.
*This is not intended for complaining, just keeping it real.
When you come home for Christmas, I'll give you a massage for your Christmans present. I love your pictures, it's all very interesting.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, sorry Shawna, I'll pray for your piece of mind and contentment, and we miss you all at family celebrations too :-)
