Fate dealt us a cruel tease today. For a short five hours, Charity and I got to see Melanie today. It was great to see her and we're very thankful we had the opportunity. Even so, it seemed so surreal. We went for sushi with her then we went into Osaka and had green tea frappuccinos at Starbucks with Charity's sister. Then, she was gone, off on her whirlwind trip through Japan. We were very sad to have to leave her. Charity and I have enjoyed being in Japan. It's been exciting and enlightening for both of us. I think this experience will help us both in our futures, as teachers and as people. Still, we are looking forward to returning home to Canada and seeing our friends and families again. It's been too long. It's just under two months now and counting. Take care everyone.
