Last full day in Japan!

Well this is it! After more than 16 years, today is my last full day as a resident of Japan. Tomorrow, I will turn in my Certificate of Alien Registration as I depart from Narita airport on my way to Hong Kong. 

I had a great send-off farewell party with many friends dropping by Heartland Bar in Roppongi Hills, one of my regular hangouts, from the time I lived near there. A special thanks to the bar manager, Yuki Okada and all the staff there for being part of a great night out. The party moved on to ZeroBar near Roppongi Crossing for a nightcap. 

But today, it's all about packing up stuff, throwing away a lot of items that I do not need and otherwise getting organized for my departure. My new adventure is about to begin!
