What I miss about Japan

Right now I live in Singapore, which is a country located under China. I really miss Japan. There are so many differences between Singapore and China.

I miss how everyone in Japan is so polite. I also miss the weather there. I was born in the south and hadn't seen snow until I was 12 years old, when it snowed a couple of times in Japan. It was amazing.

I also miss all of my friends that I made there. Some of them spoke English. Some only spoke Japanese. Those who did not speak my language we translated through hand movements and grunts, which is funny. Some of the friends I had there were Heu, Lina, Sake, Mommi (sounds just like mommy!), Yudi, Archet, etc. We had fun together and played at the park a lot. It was sad because I did not get to say goodbye to most of them (like the ones who do not speak English, they had no idea I left.)

I miss the attractions there and the shopping! I miss going down Harajuku St. and seeing all of the teenagers dressed in their odd outfits and going into all of the high-dollar stores like Louis Vuitton.

It's not that I don't like where I live now, but it's so hot here! I will always keep Tokyo in my memory, and I hope someday when I am married with children, I can take my family there.
