me 4 years ago, a complete noob
me now, able to speak japanese, more or less fluently, my hair is much longer too.
The other day I met with a japanese who speaks portuguese and we were kind of doing some language exchange. and I gotta say, making the transition to portuguese again was somewhat difficult. Because I was translationg literally from japanese to portuguese and the whole thing just seemed, off. But after a while my portuguese got better.
Anyway, I decided I am officially a speaker of japanese! It's like, even though you don't have the opportunity to see my japanese, because I more or less stopped writing in japanese after coming here (also because I want to still have the surprise factor when I come back to Portugal) but truth of the matter is that I use japanese every day at school and when talking with whoever it is (excluding skype). I write texts, I correct texts, I read texts, I listen to my colleagues explaining texts, I discuss, I...I can use japanese and get around using and living with it.

Now the thing I'm struggling with the most is what to do in the future...yes, this is still a problem. there are times in which I'm sure I want to be here, but lately I've been making more comparisons, and since I'm more aware of my feelings I feel that I'd be more happy in Portugal. Yes, because small things count, a lot. and to me being able to eat my breakfast, to hang out with friends from high school and university (and even primary school).
And I said Portugal, because besides Portugal and Japan I know not any other countries. But I dare say that I'd like to try the US.
