It was my dream to go to Japan and I lived it. Me and my partner got back on Monday, and wow, the holiday blues have kicked right in.
We visited Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto the usual. Then, we flew to Okinawa for 2 weeks. 5 weeks overall.
I made local friends in Osaka whom I'm still speaking to through WhatsApp and Okinawa. The Japanese were so special, we were bought leaving presents. A ink pad and Kanji stamps of our names. It was such a special time.
The noises of the train stations, the fake bird sounds. Grabbing a hashbrown every morning from Lawson and a Cafe Boss ice coffee. Drinking highballs and wondering Golden Gai.
I'm back at work and I like my job but I'm so so down. Any tips for post holiday depression?
I keep smelling my combi paper bags to take me back, I miss Japan so much. Arriving back at Gatwick was a nightmare so unorganised and loud. Take me back!
