And so it ends...
Tomorrow morning I catch the early-ish train to New Chitose Airport and begin my triple-flight return to Canada.
As a closing note, I'd like to write about the Japanese language school I attended in Fukuoka. It's worth mentioning because I thought the teachers were very good, and had a nice relaxed environment.
During my four week stay I received instruction from roughly eight or nine different teachers. This mix was a definite plus, not so much due to different teaching styles, but because it exposed my ears to various speaking voices/styles and added variety to each day. In addition, new students began every Monday, followed by new "graduates" every Friday, which maintained a constant flow of new faces each week. I met people from Germany, Sweden, Austria, Swizterland, USA, Malaysia, UK, Russia, Italy, Hungary, and maybe somewhere I've forgotten.
The only bad thing was an ever-changing timetable. Sometimes classes wouldn't begin until the afternoon, which can ruin a day. It's much nicer to finish early and have the rest of the day to do whatever.
Having said that, if anyone else is interested, their website is: http://genkijacs.com/
I'll only post once more in this blog, and that will simply be to say I landed safely back home. Sayonara!
