I have lived in Japan as an ex-pat for a very long time. In fact, I have lived here for more than twice as long as I lived in the States. And I don’t get back home very often. Sometimes I go more than 10 years before I can work up enough steam to make it back to the Land Of The Big PX.

This is not by design.
I don’t dislike the U.S. or anything like that. It is just that the trip is such a pain.
