Sayonara Japan! (2006)

February 2006, was the end of one of the best years of my life.  

During that period, my spiritual vibrancy was at a high.  It was the medley of people, culture, and landscapes that truly contributed to a remarkable experience that I could never forget.

I was emotionally driven upon departure, almost unwilling to leave Japan. 

One of the primary reasons was due to my girlfriend at the time.  We both shared a common dilema: we weren't ready to be separated.

So during the last days in Japan, my girlfriend decided she would get a Working Holiday Visa and come to Canada.
