I have left Japan! Now back home in the bay area, California.

Next big international destination will most likely be Berlin, Germany in early 2017. I’ll make a short return to NYC and Boston before that, to experience their winters. There may be some smaller trips before both of those.

My ultimate goal with all this traveling is to find a place I’d like to live permanently. Tokyo, NYC, and Boston all remain possibilities - we’ll see how I feel about East coast winters, and how Tokyo’s language barrier compares with other countries. Each new place I visit still teaches me a lot about my own preferences, which tells me it’s too early to choose one yet. One thing’s certain: I’m not going to live in Silicon Valley/California’s south bay area again. Sorry, Mom and Dad.
