Jya mata ne!

See you later, Japan! Thanks for the maple leaves and the great meals, the endless apologizing and the infinite courteousness, the intoxicating jumble of ancient tranquility and modern craziness, and the countless people who have out of the goodness of their hearts gone out of their way to make my trip enjoyable.

I am looking forward to washrooms that have soap and something, anything at all, to dry my hands with, but in general I've had an undeservedly wonderful time, and look forward to seeing you again when I can make it back here, if you'll have me.

Thanks to you also, dear reader, for following me on my journey. See you soon.
