Goodbye Tokyo: Last Sakura, Leaving Japan After School, Finding Home in the Chaos
A candid, witty farewell to Tokyo.
A candid, witty farewell to Tokyo.
From wrong trains and convenience-store onigiri to friendships, language fumbles, and one last Sakura. Reflections on leaving Japan and moving home.
Time flies, doesn’t it?
Waktu berlalu begitu cepat, ya?
Feels like yesterday I landed in Tokyo: wide-eyed, terrified, clutching convenience-store onigiri like it was emotional support food. I couldn’t order lunch without rehearsing five times.
Rasanya baru kemarin aku mendarat di Tokyo: mataku terbelalak, ketakutan, menggenggam onigiri minimarket seolah-olah itu makanan penenang emosi. Aku tak bisa memesan makan siang tanpa berlatih lima kali.
