For me the homesick thing set in right away. I don't know many people here (Still Don't), the Karate training is way harder than what I was used to in Canada (What was I expecting?) and now the weather is turning cruelly hot.
The worst thing you can do though is be bored. Finding ways to keep yourself busy may not be easy at first especially when you don't know your way around. Ways to keep from self doubt are to practice your Katas, go for bike rides and see what you can see in Fujieda.
Seems like every karate class I turn into the human sprinkler. The sweat on my face doesn't even taste salty. It as if the water I drink while training is just pumped out pores as soon as it gets in my mouth.
Keep working hard. Sometimes I wonder if I am the right person for this mission. But when Sensei says your kata is looking a bit better it helps answer the question, why am I here?
