I am in Japan for a remote programming job. I was in Osaka. I don't like sushi. I have been away for 2 years and I don't have kids. I visited Paris.  I didn't like the Japanese food. I prefer French food.
I don't like sushi. I like to spend time with friends. I have three daughters. I have never been to Osaka. I have wanted to go to Japan since I was a teenager. I haven't been able to save up enough money to travel outside the state.
You were right! I walked around a bit tonight and was able to find a Mexican restaurant. It wasn't the same as back home but still good! I'm sure it must have a pretty interesting taste. Is anything really different about the Japanese take on Mexican food? It was suprisingly good.  Kind of like, Taco Bell.  Not authentic, but mainstream good.  They like mayo a lot. I bet. How are enjoying Osaka? Feeling a bit homesick? I've never been, but I really want to go at some point. I've been wanting to go since I was a teenager, but I can't save up enough to travel outside this state. I love it here.  It is a very beautiful place to visit.  I travel a lot so I don't get that homesick.  I hope you get to go to Japan one day.   How does Japan compare to Paris? I've never been there either, obviously, but I'm interested to see how they compare. It's tougher getting to travel as well with my 3 daughters. I like the food in Paris way better.  I prefer Japan for the scenery, but Paris for the food.  The shopping in Paris is good if you like high class shopping.  In Japan, it is good if you like quirky things. I can relate. I am not the biggest fan of sushi, so it would be hard for me to find something to eat there. How is everything going with work for you? How much longer will you be out there? I am almost done with the project.  Then back to the states.  In about 2 weeks.  I am glad to be done, but kind of sad to go.  It was a easy job compared to some of my other ones.   Are you going to miss anything about Japan? After two years, I'm sure there's some things you've really grown to enjoy about being there. I will miss the scenery.  Beautiful nature, the nightlife.  I made some good friends here.  I will miss them. I've seen some of the pictures you have been posting online and they look really pretty. What's the first thing you're going to do when you get back to the United States?
