One of the biggest transitions for me to life in Japan was the fact that there were actual seasons throughout the year. As I have lived in San Diego for nearly all of my life, I was used to not really experiencing any change in weather throughout the year. Sometimes it would get a little hot, sometimes it would get a little cold, but there would really never be any drastic difference in climate throughout the year. Given my lifestyle in San Diego, I never needed any special clothes for the changing seasons or anything like that, so I knew had to prepare in advance for my year in Japan. Be sure to pack accordingly to the typical weather of wherever you would travel abroad to. Packing aside, I was really grateful that I was able to fully experience each season in Japan and through visiting gardens and participating in seasonal events, I was able to enjoy the seasons as much as I could.
