after 24 hours straight of travelling we are now stuck in the tokyo airport. our flight was delayed and we got in at 10pm. so weve missed the last train and bus and cant get another till tomorrow morning. fun! we couldnt even call julie and tell her that we wont make it to maebeshi in time, which would have left her stranded at the train station

I can barely remember going to Tokyo - I was 5 or 6, I can remember wandering around a bunch of shops in absolute wonder (as you would, as a child) at the awesome toys they had on display.

I find the hardest part of any trip is settling in to a regular mundane life when you "get home".

After my trip to Helsinki for Xmas 1999 and Paris for NYE 2000, it took me a good six months to shake the feeling of "bleh" that sunk in after I got back home. I eventually moved to Melbourne.

I had only travelled for a month or two though - when I was overseas for longer with my trip to the Phillipines, I was more than happy to get home and feel normal again.

I find returning from short to medium trips overseas really difficult to adjust to. You've been gone for ages though - so, I hope you just feel relieved to get home, instead of a bit lost and a bit bored.

yeh i really dont know what to expect when i get home.

last time it was awful. i left not long after high school finished and when i came back all my high school friends had moved on and were doing their own thing. i had expected everything to be exactly where i left it and it wasnt at all. that took a lot of getting used to.

i hope this time wont be so bad. i cant wait to be home. i feel like ive been almost home for about 10 months. well i have. its a bit weird tho. meh
