Hey, I'm studying abroad in Tsukuba, Ibaraki right now. I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for 16 months, and this is the farthest we've ever been away from each other. Right now we're talking a lot on skype, and that seems to make it a little easier. But, it still is hard. I'll be gone for 10 months, and we're trying to make plans to see each other on winter break or spring break. do you have any advice or anything?
Skype is good, I'd also suggest sending lots of letters. They always end up being a nice surprise in the mail and it lets you know the other person is thinking of you and still cares about you.
For visiting, I'd suggest your gf come to Japan vs you going back home. When I went home, it just felt kind of depressing and it was weird to step out of "Japan mode" and then back again. My husband really loved coming to Japan and then he could see where I lived and what everything was like for me. We would tour all over, bond and just have an awesome time. (We were long distance for 2 years)
really? I'm glad! :) My husband got deployed so I'm going into my 2nd year of the long distance thing so if you ever wanna vent or whatever, feel free!
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY ITS HARD WHEN YOUR IN YOUR ROOM, She left on Friday and its now Sunday night and I am already depressed. She is in Tokyo for 11 months. I just ordered her flowers and chocolate. But I have not had a call yet, just one e-mail :(
^_^ Thank you. Things are going really well actually. We talk to each other at least once a week & being in Japan has been a good distraction. If anything, it's bringing us closer & making us value our time together more.
i think a good thing to mention too, is that for the first time, you really get to feel what it's like to feel like a minority, it's a real shock hahah
of thing, I ended up staying at a friend's house for 3 days, just going out & having fun & then when I got back, I went down to the beach with another friend & look out at Mt. Fuji. It was awesome & I felt a million times better. I hope that helps. :) Let me know if you have other questions
^_^ well thank you. One of my friends did the recording that I was in on the new years one. I thought he did an awesome job as well. He had gone to film school for awhile so he's good at. I'm hoping he'll help me make some more after Spring break (Feb. - April)

10 months is a long time, but do-able! (^_~)b
