Pack-N-Go

It was our last night together and although we're all excited to be able to read street signs, menus, and newspapers, we're all a little melancholy about our departures. Some things I'll miss:

1. the ubiquitous musak piped into daily existance;


2. free samples galore


3. strange toilets with instructions
   
4. Food on sticks


5. exceptional customer service (particularily in comparison to the "screw you" attitude of New Jersey


6. the perpetual sing-song chatter of customer service people asking if I want help (??? who knows??)


7. some of the great people I've met on the trip and the diversity of our crew


8. Paying for stuff using 1000 yen increments


9. Budget sushi
   

Some of the things I won't miss

1. my illiteracy
   
2. seclusion from actual Japanese people
   
3. hotels


4. perpetual unpacking and repacking
   
5. hotel ballrooms
   
6. budget sushi
7. hotels
