In this case home for you is 5000 miles from where you grew up in a country that even today is so completely different from all that you grew up with... you must get some form of Nostalgia-jetlag. I will be leaving Himeji on 9/4. The interesting thing for me is I'm not from here and as an African-American gaijin, I stand-out from 100 meters away. (almost literally) and yet. I feel so homesick for Japan and get so sad when I leave. I think its because I go here to see family and we don't do the Tokyo-thing: (Roppongi, akihabara, Hara-juku, karaoke, udon/ramen, etc). For us, when me, wifey, and son visit the in-laws that is there cue to go on vacation which almost always consists of traveling all the way to the top of Hyogo and back. When we get back to Himeji and otou-san's house I always feel like, "Man, its good to be home..." but I'm not really home. How is it for you? When you leave Ohio, and go back to Kyoto, how do you feel? Also, for a less deep question: when you get back to Japan what's the first thing you do... as anindulgence.? -For me, its a trip to Joshin or Midori Denki to see the latest electronics and also a trip to Aeon/Marunaka supermarket to stock up on yuzu/sudachi (expensive/poor quality in New York/NJ) for Suntory whiskey w/ice after dinner.
