About 2 months ago, my girlfriend, Chie [pronounced 'Chee-eh', as an FYI], moved back to her hometown in the Osaka-Gifu prefecture of Japan with her family. Already it's bugging the hell out of me. Calls are too expensive, and for some reason g-mail won't successfully send an e-mail to the Japanese hotmail server without an error, and I get impatient waiting for letters, which cost money like the phone [though not as much] and I've only been able to mail her once a month, and I'm starting to really miss her. If our family could afford it, I'd just up and move to Japan..
