I went back to the Philippines last year after 5 years though I was very happy to be back with Family and friends, there was a feeling of something missing.
I think its the convenience of everything here in the Japan. The impecable customer service even in Public offices , even the vending machine in the streets.
I was there for a week but it took me day or two to fully realize I am not in Japan.
The weird part is that I kept converting the prices back to yen
