what to say?
what to say indeed.
last night was ryan's last night in japan. though he isn't leaving till the 26th, he's heading to tokyo as i'm writing this.
now the thing is, i know it's not the last time i'm going to see him cause, well, i'm flying to wisconsin 8/4 to drive down to tuscon with him arriving 8/10, but, well...
if you know me fairly well, then you know this will shock you a bit (in a good way of course), that the two people that i've met on jet that i've bonded the closest with were not asian at all. i mean don't get me wrong, i have a fair share of asian friends here, but ryan was (cause he left) the kind of guy who almost felt like family. i mean we've traveled all over south east asia together, we've done trips to tokyo, kamakura, nikko, we've chatted on end, karaoked for 4 hrs, eaten till we felt like dying, and more or less done it all.
i don't think words i can say here will describe just how amazing and how important our friendship is to me, and i know this all sounds cheesey, but i really do mean every word of it.
even though i know i'll see him in 10 days, i want to wish him the best in his life as a grad student at ua, and hope nothing but good things for him. he's been an amazing friend whom i've had the great privelage of getting to know him far beyond the shallow layers of acquaintances.
and i look forward to our road trip across the country.
oh yeah, i know what to say now.
thank you.
