ahoyoy!
i've been back in the m-dot for three days now, and i am def experiencing reverse culture shock! i never thought i'd happen to me! first off, i keep wanting to drive on the left side of the road (canada u drive on the right). second, i keep wanting to holler sumimasen to waiters in the restaurant, and i've had to stop myself from saying arigato a few times. i can no longer sleep 8 hours consecutively but take naps in 2 hour intervals throughout the day. and i am always always sleepy (which did not bode well when my friends tried to take me out clubbing on my second day back). i went downtown toronto today, and was simply amazed by the ethnic diversity. and the general tallness of people. i had forgotten how short i am here! i've actually come to realize what a cool city toronto really is. it's ghetto, but its vibrant and alive. there are real people here with real emotions. they show anger, happiness, sadness and general lunacy without the societal mask imposed on japanese people. i have two weeks left in mississauga before i leave again, and i'm wishing i had more time to rediscover this place i call home. komattana?
