Farewell.

The world cup final game has been over and also my life in the UK has been finished at the same time.

I am heading to Paris by overnight bus. I have already enjoyed the atmosphere of France in advance because at the Pub where I have watched the game, there were a lot of french supporters looking so happy. 

Actually, I have gotten to go back to Japan  for some reason but I can’t for now. What a heartless jerk I am. Forgive me.

I think I have been changed. I have learned lots of things through the experiences of my life outside of Japan. I have got something. I can not prove it or show it physically. I can not explaine what it is for now but I am sure I have gotten something good and new, which would affect my future ahead. I have understood about my country more clearly by viewing from outside. I couldn’t see it when I was inside, ironically.

The most important thing I learned was, I guess, I can stay being myself anytime, anyway. Even if people around you were colored red and they forced you to be red, you don’t need to be red. You can stay being in your own color. There should be as many colors as number of people. 十人十色。

What I wrote above is just a metaphor though, I have learned something like it practically. For me as a topical Japanese guy, it was so shocking, really.

Anyway, I am leaving this country. I can't thank the people I met here throughout this 2 years in the UK enough. It has been really great to meet you all. I couldn't say goodbye to some people in person. That is my only regret. 

I hope your whole life will be full of happiness. I am looking forward to seeing you again someday somewhere. Farewell.
