Homesick It was January, 2009 when I first came to Canada. It means I will stay abroad for 2 years to 2 months. I can't help thinking how fast time flies, and sometime I am still struggled with the difficulties about living abroad. It was 3 months later that I got the worst home sick after I came to Canada. I had tried to adjust new environment, but my sickness was maximum those days. I used to miss my family and friends in Japan. Even though my homesickness are getting better, but I still suffer it sometimes. The homesickness is a kind of a waves in the sea, it comes and goes temporary in front of me, but I guess it might never disappear. I was born and raised up in Japan for over 28years, so I spend almost all the life in Japan. Of course I love Canada, there are no complains about this great country, but my identity of Japanese will never be erased. Maybe someone who has been in foreign country for such a long time might understand my idea. When I go to Japnese stores in Canada, Japanese songs make me half cry. They remaind me of Japanese beautiful scenery, my memory of Japan and lovely family and friends. The typical songs that remind me of Japan is " 遥か" ( Haruka ) by GreeeeN sung by Japanese famous pop band. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sENZ922mqZA This is a seasonal ( graduation) song indeed, It reminds me Japanese spring that cherry blossoms are flowered at their best. When it plays, I always stop to listen to it and miss Japan alot!
