I counted (on my fingers and toes and a few other body parts!) last night the number of days I have left in Japan: 23. That does not include the seven days I’ll be in China for the conference (June 20-27). I am so looking forward to returning to Poland. It’s already been three years, and it’s been almost a year since I was in Europe (London). At this point, after two years in Japan, I freely admit that I am a Europhile.
