Yup.
2002 Apr 5 14:56I’m done with Japan. Finished. Finito. Ready to go.
I learned a lot being here, and I’m so glad I came and developed my career and worldly understanding. This was perhaps one of the most important learning experiences of my life. A good friend of mine said she thought it was a mistake for me to come here . . . and while she might have meant that she knew I would eventually leave, perhaps she didn’t realize that I would learn so much . . .
But it’s time to move on.







Good luck in your next step along your path!

Countries other than the US that have English as at least one of the official languages are currently under consideration. No more running to the secretary to help translate key government documents.

wohali | 7 04 2002Canada is looking more and more like a realistic option, tho I don’t really like the weather much :(
Montreal is on the short list (or the Montreal/Ottawa area...)
wohali | 7 04 2002Montreal is on the short list (or the Montreal/Ottawa area…) because of Canada’s liberal same-sex immigration policy. Now to find that elusive job!

wohali | 7 04 2002Hey, if nothing else, St. Louis is a nice stopping place for a cross-country flight. If I manage to get my instrument rating anytime soon, STL could very well be part of the picture. :P
