When we landed Mel and I went to the toilets and she said “ I really hope they had western style toilets here” me “Mel of course they do we are in BRISBANE” and then when we were washing our hand we realised that we had also semi forgotten about taps…. We were just waving our hands under the tap and expecting it to start.
Mum and dad took me to Strathpine straight away and I so got cultural shock or reverse culture shock which ever you want to call it, when I realised that I could read all the sings and understand everything that was being said to me. i was shocked at our sever lack of culture like there is in japan.
I had a absolutely great time and I think this will have been the first of many to Japan, such a beautiful country.
in the car i started unpacking the bag of presents i had taken aboard as hand luggage and givign them to mum and dad, i was so excited about being able to share my wonderful experiance with others. i couldnt and still cant wait to get back to japan and continue my journey in the land of my heart. God truely did provide for me while in Japan and has given me an incredble passion for the country, the culture, the language and the people.
i hope youve enjoyed reading my journals of japan trip 05 as much as i have enjoyed going over them and reminissing on the trip.
