It's time to take a trip!!!
I'll leave the United States to Japan in five days. Apparently, it sounds I go back to Japan unless I'm an American. However, it feels I take a trip to Japan for me.
Honestly, I'm really glad that I feel in this way because I'm getting used to live in the United States. Even though I'm a Japanese, my general life is here in the United States. That's awesome change!!!
Sometimes, it is very depressing for me to go back to Japan because Japanese society has strong social pressure.
Most Japanese usually are employed at 21 or 22 years old as soon as they graduate Universities; so, it apparently looks loser if you are over 21 or 22, and don't work as an officially employed worker.
I've been studying in the United States to complete my dream; but, it is not business for Japanese society. I obviously have to face to strong stereotype at the same time I go to Japan.
I know this is what I chose; however, it is very strong and tough even if you had had determination to face to this situation.
Hope Summer will be gone as soon as possible, and I can immediately come back to the United States!!

I made some corrections. Very good!! I can sort of relate with your entry except I'm an American living in Argentina... I feel pressures to live a certain way in my own culture and in Argentina I feel a lot more "free!" Take care!

Charlescuy,
Thank you for your comment to my note:) Even though I'm tired on the stereotypes in Japan, I still like Japan to visit:D I'm sure it would be nice Summer, and I keep to push myself to fulfill my goal as much as possible:)

It appears that your life has taken a path different than that followed by other Japanese. I hope that your summer is good and that you can continue towards your goals.
