"mata ne"
One of my very very good friends leaves Japan for Norway today. During these past couple of years we have spent many nights together in our lovely suburb of Sengawa sharing our worries and joys, usually over a nice glass (or bottle) of cheap Japanese diner wine. I wll never forget our late night escapades at Jonathen's kitchen, karaoke, and the best izakaya ever - Kuus. I wish her all the best! Sayonara sounds too official, like we will never meet again, which is definitely not the case. So I will leave her with mata ne, which basically means "See you later."
MATA NE!!!!!! See you soon in Norway!

Meribon, you brought tears to my eyes with your entry. So sweet! It has not hit me yet that I have left Japan... and that we won't be meeting at Jonathon's or Kuus or the gym or for karaoke anymore.... well not in the near future anyway. Probably a good thing because I will get too kanashii... Gotta do it again sometime, just for good ol times' sake! Those waiters at Jonathon's are probably shinpai shiteiru! ;)
Good luck with your packing, ne!
PS Love the mood ring! :D
I am so glad to have met you, Yumi. I had such a good time in Japan and want you to come visit us sometime.
