PostScript あとがき
It's been a week since I came back to Japan. It was unexpectedly busy last a week, so I couldn't update.
What I felt last week in Japan was "this is absolutely beautiful county"; not only scenery, people and atmosphere.


帰国して1週間が、経ちました。帰国してすぐバタバタして、感慨に浸る暇も無く時間が経ってしまいました。ただ、そんな中でも感じたのは、やっぱり日本は美しい。



I arrived to Narita Airport on 13th of May. My parents were waiting for me at the arrival gate. As I came out from the gate, my mother was waiting right front of the crowd.
Her smile brought me back here, and I felt almost tear falling on my cheek. My father was behind of the crowd. We walked to parking lot.
My parents looked very exited, and I was as well of cause. However, in the same time, I felt so sorry because their excitement reminded me that they had been so worry and nervous for what I did last two and half years.
Of cause, I don't regret what I've done on my journey.
I really appreciate people who helped and gave me the words of encouragement. I surely wouldn't make it without those people. Thank you all so much.

日本到着は5月13日。成田には両親が迎えに来てくれていて、到着ロビーで再開した。母親が嬉しそうに人垣の先頭で待ち構えていた。懐かしい母の顔に近ずくと、安心して涙が出そうになった。父は後ろに控えていて、迎え入れてくれた。安心感と共に「心配掛けてたんだよな」としばしテンションの高い両親を見ながら、反省させられもした。もちろん、この2年半に後悔はしてない。
無事に帰ってこれたのも、旅中に親切にして頂いた方々や、応援の言葉を送ってくれた人達のお陰です。生きて帰ってこそ伝えられる旅、本当皆さんに感謝しています。




Many people asked me before going home "what kind of Japanese food I would have at the first day"

で、いろいろな人から聞かれていた質問「帰国してまず何を食べる」という質問。何だったでしょう。

Here is,,,, Ramen noodle. It was sooooo tasty, but a bit small portion for cyclist stomach. It was absolutely beautiful taste!!

ラーメンでした^_^ サイクリストの胃袋には足りなかったけれど、本当美味しかった。やっぱり日本のラーメンは最高!!



This is Japanese breakfast.
そして日本の朝食

感無量 awesome!!!



As I went back and started new life here, I deserved some rest. However, it was a bit busy for last a week.
There was press interview sat up at city hall couple of days after. I was on several different news paper and will on TV.

そこから家に帰って、しばらくゆっくり。というのが理想だったのだけれど、帰国して早々忙しい日々になった。
新聞・テレビ記者を前にして川越市役所での帰国報告。その後数日、新聞各紙で大きく取り上げて頂く事となった。



My duty after such a irreplaceable experience will be to tell people what I've seen and felt oversea and must do something in return for kindness of the people I met.
That's is my real goal and the way to be "true wealth".
I hope I can get such a job and also a girl in order to move my life forward.

これからの私の責務は伝える事、そして社会貢献だと思っている。いずれ仕事の中やそれ以外で途上国の人達の自立支援をビジネスとして形にしていきたいと考えてる。
ただ、それを形にしていくのにも、まだまだスキルや知識が足りない。まずは良い仕事を探し、その中で目標を具体化していければと思う。



I don't think I do another long bike journey again because I have the new dream as I said. However, still deserve some short sightseeing trip in the future. I've never been to South America anyway.

もう冒険旅行はするつもりは無い。今回の旅で完全燃焼したし、私の次への目標ははっきりとしているからだ。ただ、短期で旅行はしたい。まだ南米行った事無いし。





Again, I really appreciate people who helped and gave me encouragement on my way.
For my parents, I know the gratitude words won't be enough compared to their anxiety last two and half years.
To tell my appreciation, I will do my best in this country.

最後に重複しますが、今回お世話になった方々、励ましの言葉を送ってくれた人達には本当感謝しています。そして2年半心配掛けた続けた両親には、感謝の言葉だけでは全く不十分過ぎる心配をかけたのは解っています。
この気持ちを形にしていく為にもこれから日本で頑張って行きますので、どうぞ宜しくお願いします。




Thank you for watching my blog. I have no plan to close my blog. Hope this blog helps those who are on bike tour and who will take off for it.

おそらくこのブログは更新する回数がかなり減るかと思いますが、閉鎖するつもりはありません。今後、自転車旅を始めようと思う方達のお役にたてれば幸いです。
