Due to the global coronavirus pandemic and all of the travel restrictions, I, like so many other expats in Japan, was unable to go back home this summer. It was our plan to go home during summer vacation to see family and friends, but we’ll have to wait until next year (if we’re lucky!). I don’t usually get homesick, but missing this opportunity really made me think about home and everything I miss.
First and foremost, I miss people. I don’t get to see my friends and familly much, and even though we can video chat and message each other, it’s not the same. I really want to see everyone.
Second, I miss the city of Chicago. There are so many fun things to do in the summer back home. I miss going to baseball games, going to big parks, shopping, and so much more.
Finally, one of the things I miss the most is the food! I talk about this a lot, but Chicago is well-known for its food. The number one food that I miss is pizza. Chicago really does have the best pizza in the world.
It’s a shame that we weren’t able to go home this summer, but hopefully coronavirus gets better all over the world and we can get back to traveling in 2021. For now, though, I have pictures like this one (with two former Hello!s teachers) to remind me of home.

先日のマリアム先生の記事でも紹介されていましたが、僕もイチジクについてお話しします。
見た目はあまり美味しそうには見えないし、食感も良いとは言えないイチジク。
実を取るときに白色の謎の液体が出てきて、それを触ると痒くなるイチジク。
と、良くないことばかりを紹介してしまいましたが、僕はイチジクが好きです。
小学校の頃、学校帰りに川の近くになっている食べ頃のイチジクを友達と取って、
食べながら帰った記憶があります。
大人になって食べる機会は減ったのですが、数年前に実家の庭にイチジクの木を植えたそうで、
今年はたくさん実をつけたので20個くらいもらってきました。
常温でも美味しいし、冷蔵庫で冷やして食べても美味しいです。
久しぶりにたくさんのイチジクを食べて大満足でした。

Over the break Sam and I went to Kanazawa. While we were there we stumbled across the figure museum! While I don’t have any figures myself, I know it’s a popular hobby people have all around the world. Some people build their figures, while other people collect hard to find figures. Some of the most popular figures are from anime! The special exhibit for the the figure museum was for Neon Genesis Evangelion, which happens to my one of my favorite animes! It was super impressive to see all the details and thought that went into the figures. It inspired me to watch the anime again! I am excited for the new movie!
