I’m tired. Not quite fall asleep where you’re sitting tired, but trying to understand and make yourself understood tired. I had forgotten what that was like.
Tokyo makes me feel like I did when I first started learning Japanese, lost and confused. The more I learn, the more I realize what I don’t know. I’m sad that it’s my last day here, but that only makes me want to come back sooner.
Farewell Tokyo.
