Last night my wife commented that I haven't stopped since I returned to Japan nearly a week ago. She says I haven't had time to take a proper rest but I like to be "on the go", and I think it's better for me to be out and about on my bike, arther than sitting at home feeling sorry for myself and possibly experiencing reverse culture shock. And so it continues today as my wife and I will visit one of our favourite "haunts"-the "Rakuen" restaurant in Sanarudai, tonight. It will be great to catch up with old friends.
