It has been 12 months living in this country and there are countless things I always get amazed with. Looking back, when everything sank in towards the end of March last year that finally I'd be coming to Japan, a lot of mixed emotions were felt. Thought I'd be so lonely and homesick when I get here.

The Antidotes of Homesickness
