I just realized as I was ruminating on the new year, that 2009 marks my 22nd year in Japan. I will also turn 44 years old in 2009.
You do the math.
Wow.
I never thought I would be here so long.
It's a funny feeling.
In 2010, I will have lived longer in Japan than in my home country.
Wow.
Even crazier is the fact that my entire adult life (or life as an independent, wage earning, tax-paying individual) has been in Japan.
Why do I still feel so non-Japanese?
But actually, I don't feel American either. I guess I'm just me.
Yep. Just me. I guess that's OK.
