Last Minute Message

So I don't really have a lot of time to post anything new because I'm leaving in 5 minutes. But this experience has been the most incredible one of my life I can tell you that. I tried to cover it all in this blog - I don't think I succeeded - but even if I told you every minute detail, it doesn't beat being here and experiencing it. You have to see the Japanese people for yourself and experience this great country on your own. It's truly worth it, knowing that peaceful, good people exist in this world. We aren't isolated, we're all essentially the same.

I truly feel as if this family has become my own. I want to come back and visit them and be a part of their lives for the rest of mine. And I think it's been an incredibly rewarding and rich experience. Hanai family - thank you!

And I close with a silly picture of course:

LIVELY!
