Awwwwww... hang in there bud. Make sure you fill your days with plenty of activity and don't give yourself time to brood. The time will pass much quicker that way. You'll make it!

I feel your pain. I've been in Korea for a year now, about to leave in a few days. The last 30 days or so are the worst, but trust me, it's all in your head; keep yourself busy and they will go by.
Lay off the bottle for the rest of the night, call and talk to momma and the kids, and go get some sleep. You'll feel better in the morning. |

Thanks, all.
Just what I needed, some American voices who can understand my ranting. operatorerror. thanks for being nice. Will hang in.... MrsGloftoe... thank you. Just feeling a little solitary right now. I appreciate the kind words. AbomininableNo_Man... You know more than me the "homesickness". You hang in there too, go hug those people you love ASAP. I'll do as you say and call the family. Be safe.

His head's all about his wife right now, you weenie!
 To put some perspective on how fast time flies - Right now in the stores are items for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even some Christmas decorations popping up here and there. That means that stuff is imminent! It's soon! And October 17 comes before any of those holidays, so it's even sooner! Go out there and get busy doing stuff. Take time to see the country well. If you haven't had a chance to play tourist, now is an excellent time to start. Fill yourself up with it so that you can tell your family all the crazy things you saw when you get home. Which will be soon.

Do you have to type backwards when you are in Japan? I know you have to type upside down when in Australia for the words to come out right. When I email someone who is "mentally slow", I also type very slowly, because he is not a fast reader.

Hope you make it home soon, must seem like time is slowing down though..... On the other hand, I've never been to Japan...or drunk in Tokyo....I'll have to try that sometime.

You don't work for one of those japanese companies in Austin do you?
If so, we might have to get together for some TEA.

How can you afford to get drunk in Tokyo? I was there in '87 and beers were $20 then.

Go pull some gags on the locals, that will cheer you up and give you something to talk about when you get home.

Go down to Shinsako tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) and you'd swear you were back in America with all the Japanese college kids dressing up like Americans (from the 50's when I use to hang out there). Then go to Mako Donaldos or Pizza Hut and have an American meal before heading over to Disneyland.
There's more of America in Japan than there is Mexico in California/Arizona/ |

Co-workers just left for 45 days in Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Sydney.
Better them than me. Best of luck to you. You'll be home before you know it and it will be WORTH IT. Hang in there. |

Go oveer to Ueno Park and check out the Pandas and then walk down to Ahkihabara through the market under the tracks. Check out the Airsoft guns. Go check out some of the multi-story CD stores.
For a big city, Tokyo really doesn't offer a lot for gai-jin to do. |
