DumbStick 13 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 ...if you CAN understand everything around you, or you CAN'T? I'm sure I used to enjoy it more and loved the place more when I was blissfully unaware of lots of things. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I wouldnt know, I enjoyed not understanding. Why would you not like things when you do understand? Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 When I came here at first, I was in love with most things, everything was so exciting. It was kinda fun not understanding everyhing. Now that I understand much more, I enjoy "real" friendships now but also dislike quite a few things. Japan certainly is nowhere near as exotik as it used to be Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I still don't understand crap as far as the language goes, but I can see what you mean by not understanding. Just getting used to the way of life over here has worn off some of that glittery 'I'm new here!' shine. It's simply a familiarity issue with me. When I travel away from places I'm used to or have been a few times over here, I feel like I'm once again submerged in the foreigness that is Japan. I need to travel more. My company sucks.

frannyo 2 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 The magic does disappear. And I was a different person back then when I first came here. Link to post Share on other sites
