I had a giggle about you not missing family. My husband was the same when we were living in Australia. People would ask him if he missed his family back in Japan. No. The truth was, he missed the Japanese food more. haha!!! (and not because he had bad relationships, it's just how it was!)

Is it rare for Japanese people (especially men) to venture outside their home country leaving family behind?

The vastness of nature is something that can be called home, where comfort and tranquility are. You have written well. I like it.

Maybe it's Melbourne, maybe it's the new moon making us long for roots 🤷‍♀️
