Life is only…
As good as the memories we make
And I’m taking back what belongs to me
These relics of remembrance
Are just like shipwrecks
Only they’re gone faster
Than the smell after it rains
Wow, hard to believe I’ve gotten to this point… Today, 10 months after my first blog entry, comes my final post. I have been in Japan for 304 days now, living on my own in a completely foreign country, and now at last it’s time for me to return home…
There are 3 days left in Japan, filled with farewell parties, all night JJ, and sakura viewing. And then I head back to my life in Calgary. I’m kind of sad to leave, I have a lot of awesome memories of Japan...
And I’ve learned a lot here, about engineering, about Japan itself, as well as made some really good friends. I’ve gained confidence in myself, and that’s very important.
Thanks to family and friends back home who kept in contact with me and made me not so homesick, to my friends here, for always keeping me entertained and putting up with my lame jokes, and to the internship program and my company for giving me the chance to live and work in Japan.
After 60 entries, this Adventure of Link comes to a close. Until my next adventure!
So long Japan
I’d found a map to buried treasure
And even though I go home empty handed
I’ll still have my stories, battle scars,
Pirate ships and wounded hearts,
Broken bones, and all the best of friendships…
And when this hourglass has filtered out
Its final grain of sand…
I’ll raise my glass to the memories we had…
This is my wish, and I’m taking it back
I’m takin’ 'em all back…

Hey Brett!
I think this is my first time commenting on your blog, which is sad on account of the fact that it is also your last post. Just wanted to say thanks for bloggging. It was awesome to experience Japan through your blog, and I've really enjoyed reading up on your adventures. Next time I'm in Calgary we'll have to get the Japanese class together for some Olde Tyme Sakana Grill and possibly killing things on the computer.
Have a safe trip home!
ROB!!!
