Last JAPANESE day

23rd August
Our last day began with a lovely breakfast atMcdonalds. Kojja had his special tamago burger.It is an egg burger with bacon and cheese I believe and it is only available until September. After breakfast I went tomy yoga class and Kojja had the pleasure ofbaby sitting his lovely nephew for onehour or so. The last baby sitting session was apparently a smashing success. Henry-kun didn't cry. He was mersmerized by a woman playing music in the department store. I met them walking home and Henry-kun was fast asleep.
Then we got ready for the airport. We were lucky to speak with Mummy. Also the night before we talked to Phina and Carol Wamala. I think it has been almost 10 or 11 years since I last saw Carol. The phone calls really made my day.
A kind colleague drove us to the airport.It was a very necessary ride. Kojja had an outstanding amount of luggage.2 huge bags, 1 big carry on, a backpack,a bag with souvenirs and his walking stick from Mt. Fuji. Luckily he checked in very easily and they allowed him to take his walking stick.
We kept in contact via text messages up until he boarded his flight from Kansai international.His route was very mad. Haneda to Kansai Kansai to Dubai and then finallyDubai to New York. His bags were checked all the way to New York.
You can see us at the airport and notice my fuschia pink dress. Forever 21 has come to Japan and that is my first purchase. Very reasonable but chic clothes. Kojja is wearing a t-shirtI gave him with very non-sensical Japanese English phrases on it.
I left the airport feeling very sad.This was actually a first for me.Not the sadness but the fact that I was the one left behind. In the past Kojja would always be the one left behind when I went to college. I now totally understand his feelings. I will really miss my little brother.
