To be quite honest, I don't even want to go home at this point, I like it here. The locals are nice and understanding, and the language is surprisingly easy to pick up. I was making steady progress the whole way through my learning, and still am. From this point on I'm gonna stop keeping such precise count of my days here. Locals don't do that apart from distinguishing between seasons, so it only seems right. I doubt I’ll ever use English like this again.
