so fucking random but have you talked to the family you lived with in japan recently? im laughing bc i remembered your scooter saga with falling into the koi pond and the kids you taught being so into your scooter

precious memories...well i do still occasionally talk to the host family i lived with when i was studying abroad in Tokyo (and the same host mom of "ganbatte roomba-san" fame), but my spectacular koi pond fall and subsequent surgery + knee scooter adventure happened a while later, when i was working in a way more rural part of Japan...at that time, i lived alone in my super old and extremely haunted ryokan house

for better or for worse, i have not spoken to ANYONE i knew during that time since i left KLFJ:LKH

#it was a rough time for me. even putting aside the life-changing injury #i keep thinking that eventually i'll remember the time fondly...but instead every time i look back on it all i can think is #'thank fuck that's over'#so i haven't really gone out of my way to stay in touch...i loved the kids but all the adults i knew were more #'goodbye everyone i'll remember you all in therapy' territory #it all makes for a good story though #i'll remember you all when i'm making funny posts on tumblr
