My last whole day in Japan, and the last chance to spend some time with everyone who made my two years so good. The day felt weirdly normal – no big speeches were made, farewells were made sadly and quietly outside; like any other day, we ate, drank, argued, and did the stupid things we’d always done when we got together. A few absent friends were keenly missed.

It’s hard to say anything meaningful here, but Rich – as always – got closest. “Sometimes, you just walk into a job, and find you’ve got a family there for you.” To all my friends still in Japan, thank you for everything. I feel incredibly lucky to have landed with such a fantastic bunch of people, and it’s going to be extremely weird without you. I’ll be in touch.
