While I definitely missed (and miss) the people, my second visit made me realise just how much I had missed the place. Just watching the scenery pass by on the train out of the airport nearly had me in tears. Memory is so deeply linked to smells and tastes, and there are so many distinctive scents and flavours here.Sopheliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09891110033136610235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-61245578741456837442014-03-25T08:34:08.849-04:002014-03-25T08:34:08.849-04:00Haha yeah, I remember those Dune games.

Had Dune 2000, which was basically Command and Conquer reskinned, and I saw screenshots of the one before that - old school.<br /><br />I've been back once since JET, too. Hope not too many years pass before the next trip.Blue Shoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474339066187087545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-30358962885236566412014-03-23T13:32:03.145-04:002014-03-23T13:32:03.145-04:00Dune is on my list of books to read - I think the ...Dune is on my list of books to read - I think the real time strategy game based off the book is my first memory of ever playing an RTS.<br />Regarding missing people and places, I'd go for both. Even if you can't visit the same place twice, it was really nice to visit Japan again after being away for 2 years. The smell of the rice fields really took me back to my time on JET.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399696817243738468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-54969582363111177422014-03-23T04:51:06.668-04:002014-03-23T04:51:06.668-04:00I mostly miss places.I mostly miss places.TheLarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-503203977655953303.post-65889426454760381702014-03-21T15:37:04.661-04:002014-03-21T15:37:04.661-04:00People.
