Japan

Beside the short nights I face at the moment, there´s something else I want to tell.

During the last two days, I visited a lot of people who where (kind of) important to me, before I left to Japan.
When visiting those people know, I have the feeling to talk to complete strangers. It´s so surreal.
Talking to someone, which - it seems - I barely know, about what happened the past weeks. They are not really interested.
What really confuses me, is the look all everyone has in their eyes. It´s the "I´m so sorry for you" look. I don´t know why. The most asked question these days: "How long have you been away?" It´s only 120 days... What would happen, when I´m going for a trip around the world?

The only persons who are still familiar are the people I was talking to during the past weeks via telephone. My family and my long term friend are still with me. But all the neighbours, buddies and other people are kind of strange.


When I remember right I didn´t have this feeling, when I came back from america. It was only 11 weeks in a row, but the difference is not that huge I think.

Are all my feelings now a aftermath of Japan or a general problem, when being abroad so long?
