Giappone
So with our last few weeks before moving, we decided to take a quick holiday to Japan, stopping at Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka & Hiroshima among others..
Loads more amazing photos on Silvia's flickr

We spent a lot of great time at Sushi counters in our two week stay, from breakfast at the food market (above), to an amazing place in Kyoto (below), to even some farewell pieces with some morning sake at Tokyo Narita before our flight!
Leaving Italy...
Some last thoughts before I leave Italy for work, although I’ll be back often to see Silvia’s family, overall it will be a real shame to leave but sadly the work opportunities are limited for me despite the Bocconi experience. I hope to be able to return to live here again in the next few years but what I've learned in my year below about the country is condensed below.
What I love about Italy
• The country – beautiful of course
• The food – nuff said
• The wine - nuff said - also helps my italian
• The lifestyle – summer on the beach, winter in the mountains or round the table, stylish clothes - amazing
• The people – funny, welcoming and great to spend time with
What is hard about Italy
• Public administration, Timekeeping and getting anything done quickly
• Everything is subject to change, and nothing even the law is fixed
• Queuing doesn't exist
• Parking (a Milano)
