last entry?
It´s weird.

Last weekend I started to say goodbye to Japan. I have been to Hakone, have seen Mt. Fuji, visted Margie, was walking in the snow, had my last Tamen soup, did the last shinkansen ride, visited the last temple, castled and festival and I continued to say goodbye for the whole week. Whatever I did, was somehow the last time during this stay.
Now, it´s friday. This would have been the real "say goodbye day". Somehow I don´t feel like I have to say goodbye anymore. It´s already done. I feel kind of free at the moment, knowing that not only a chapter of the book is done, no, I feel like I read the book, understood the meaning and have taken notes of the important parts for the future.
For me it´s now time to place the book in the shelf, take my notes and start reading a new one.
It´s so final, but I´m still happy.


Originally I wanted to close the blog today, by writing a summary of the last 120 days. I´m not able to do so. On the one hand, everything important is said, but on the other hand, there are still so many things to tell. Thus I will not close the blog today. I will give myself some more time to think about this book and the notes I´ve taken.

It might be that there will be no further entry, but it might be, that I have to write down sopme of my thoughts. We will see.

Have a safe trip (or am I too late and you're already tripping?), and keep writing, keep writing!

Welcome home.
