Time to Say Goodbye P. Sean Bramble, USA, Author, CultureShock! Japan

I

am going to write some words I never thought I’d write: Of all the places I’ve ever left, Fukuoka is by far the most recent.

After 16 years in Fukuoka, 19 in Japan, and 20 in Asia, I decided to call it quits and move back to what some might call my home country. I certainly wasn’t the first to gaijin to leave and I know I won’t be the last, but after a certain number of years here one becomes known as a “lifer”. I crossed that barrier long ago, yet I left anyway. Many were shocked I decided to leave – including myself.

What made me leave? There are days I don’t know how to answer that, because it is so easy to remember why I stayed: I never lost the sheer joy of participating in another culture. Japan is so different from any other place I have ever known, and yet despite the difference it is surprisingly easy to live here.

I have friends who stayed here one or

two or three years, and they promptly departed after having ticked the mental box “overseas experience”. Many years later they still regretted having left before tiring of living in Japan. I never did that; realizing early on what a precious opportunity I had, I swore I’d never leave until I had drunk my fill of being here.

I am happy to say that, for me, the glass of wonder in Japan is still topped to the brim. But I could never escape the feeling that closing time would nevertheless soon be upon me. As a teacher, I was very aware of the demographic time bomb that is darkening

Japan’s future. Every year the number of students decreases compared to the year before. The result is that I have seen several schools close, including not a few that I used to work for. Even the ones I worked for that survived seemed pressed. Each year’s group of students usually seemed a tad less capable than the previous year’s, because the pool of students that each school was drawing from was constantly growing smaller.

With precious little job security and limited employment opportunities beyond my chosen profession, I worried a little more each year.

Would declining enrollments push me out of the job market against my will?

I also had my children to think about. The rationale for my employment was that English was a critical need, so much so that Japan employed large numbers of native speakers. If English were truly so crucial, how could I deny my own children a chance to live full-time in an English-speaking environment?

I know English teachers in Japan whose children cannot speak English well. I did not want my children to fall into the same trap.

Though my daughter spoke reasonably well, her reading ability was low. After one year in U.S. fifth grade, however, she quickly progressed from a reading level of nearly zero all the way to National Honor Society. And I watch her, and my two sons, with satisfaction, knowing they are making their own adventures.

Don’t think for a moment that I don’t miss Japan. I have an absolute laundry list of things I miss and can’t be replicated where I live: tops among them would be hot springs, the mountains of Kyushu, and that thrill of stumbling across a unique gem of a restaurant or inn tucked into a little valley. Most of all, I miss the friends I made during my time in Japan. Finding a small number of like-minded friends who could help me out when I didn’t know what to do, or commiserate with me when things were going badly, was one of the greatest joys of living in Japan. Life abroad is an intense experience; when you share that experience with your best friends, you’ve got friends forever.

But now in my middle age (and yes, I have to face that too!) I have decided that I want another adventure. This one is to reintroduce

myself to a country and a people I don’t fully understand after so long away. I want to test myself in a new way, to see if I can still reach deep inside and find the wherewithal to succeed in an entirely new place. With the world economy being what it is, it’s a heckuva time to be testing this theory, but the same restlessness that drove me to Japan is pushing me in an entirely new direction. And I am powerless to resist it. I will always be back to visit whenever I can, and everyone and everything from my time in Japan lives in my heart still.

With fond remembrance I raise my glass to you – and with the time difference, you’d better start early. Kanpai!

りにし、僕が教えていた学校も例外ではないと 感じていた。外国人としての限られた選択肢の 中において貴重で安定した職に恵まれてはい たけれど、日々不安は募るばかりだ。自分の意 志に反して、このまま職を失うのではないか？ そして子供たちの将来も心配だった。日本では 英語のネイティブスピーカーの採用を増やし ているのを見ても分かるよう、これからの就職 には英語力が必要不可欠だ。その事実を鑑みる と、子供たちは英語圏の環境に置くべきではな いのか？概して日本に滞在する外国人講師の 子供たちは英語力に乏しい。もちろん自分の子 供たちにはそうなって欲しくなかった。英語で の日常会話には不自由しなかったが読解力が 十分でなかった娘にいたっては、5 年生からア

メリカの学校に転入させ、今ではネイティブと 同等レベルに追いついた。子供たちが各々の力 でたくましく、新しい環境に順応していく姿 を誇らしく見守る父としての自分がいる。 日本が恋しくないかって？もちろん恋しい さ！恋しいものを挙げていったらキリがない し、そもそもとって代わるものもがないから ね。例えば、温泉や九州の山々。渓谷にひっ そりとたたずむ宿屋や食事処。そして何より も日本にいる友だち。心を許せる友だちと出 会い、過ごした時間は何にも勝る。困った時 には寄り添い、励ましてくれた仲間たちのお かげで、最高の時間を過ごすことが出来た。 海外での張りつめた生活の中で同じ思いを分 かち合える友人に恵まれる、それはつまり、

人生における親友を得ることだ。 しかし中年となり（これも無視出来ない現 実）、次への挑戦に気持ちが固まってしまっ たのだ。今回は母国への帰郷。長く離れてい たため慣れないことばかりだし、感覚もずれ てる気がする。それでも新たな場所でどこま で自分の根を張ることができるか試してみた いんだ。自分なりの方法でね。世界中が不況 に喘ぐ中、こんな呑気なこと言ってられない のかもしれないが、僕を日本へと突き動かし たのと同じ、あの「ソワソワした感じ」には 抵抗できない。日本には帰りたいときにいつ でも帰れる。日本でのすべてはいつでも僕の 心にある。まだ朝早いけど、時差があるから はじめるよ。大好きな日本へ、カンパイ！

◊ Oyster Season is coming

◊ Park and Ride trial Park and Ride is a means for using the transportation system in which people drive and park at the nearest train station or bus stop and transfer to public transportation. The objective is to reduce traffic congestion and CO2 emissions. It is now being conducted as a trial for people who drive to work in the Tenjin and Hakata areas. They will drive and park at the parking lot at the Aeon Kashiihama Mall, and take an urban expressway bus from a nearby stop to work. Their only requirement is to purchase a book of coupons to use the parking lot, which costs ¥5,000 a month. Other than that, the system is free. The trial will be conducted from Nov.1 this year to Apr. 30 next year. The service is available from 06:00~23:00. Interested people should apply at the information

The Miyaura district on the west side of Hakata Bay, known for many years as Karatomari, is the only oyster-producing area in the city.

It is designed in the image of the Hakata of the Middle Ages, when the city flourished as a center for trade. The design was modeled after a gate that stood during the Edo period. It is to be a wooden structure covered in tile and about eight meters high. A solicitation for the new gate name will be held from Nov. 1~22. Include all the required information and send your entry by postcard, fax, or e-mail.
