Bye Jamie! Have a safe trip back to Canada. Go to Tim Horton's for me!

Can't believe it is over? :) Best of luck to you Jamie. I'll keep checking back to see what new ways you invent to avoidlife, or if you're sucked back into school or working world.

Bye bye, Jamie-sensei. See you in Toronto next year! (Provided your avoidinglife career hasn't driven you off the mean multi-cultural streets of Toronto and back into the welcoming embrace of some other old-world country.)

Sayounara Jamie! *waits impatiently to find out what will happen to the site*

Cya jamie!!! been over a year since i started following this so dont kill it now!

Sad to see you go. The blog has been great. Please don't kill it.

Awww... but where will I find all my fast food trivia and Canada jokes!

Hello! and....Goodbye?

Man, I gotta say I've been reading this thing pretty much since you started it and now I am kind of sad to see it end.

I nearly always found your posts interesting. I want to visit Japan someday, so the info/links you have posted over the years will be helpful in the future. Many thanks for that.

I hope you keep blogging about your endevours and discoveries, no matter where life takes you. Maybe a new blog called Confronting Life?

i just discovered your site this morning. i'm sad to find out that i won't find any more commentary on your adventures and discoveries while in japan. a friend and i are interested inthe jet program. may we pick your brain some time? i hope you have more pictures and insights to share from wherever you are on this site (or is it only for jet?). cheers.

hahah so i've been reading this site for years and while I'm in tokyo I bump into jamie at tokyo station, weird, anyway gonna miss the pics man, good luck with confronting life!

Hi y'all. I'm writing to you today from an Internet cafe in Tokyo. In a few hours I'll be squished into an AirCanada plane heading home to lovely Toronto. Thanks for all the love guys and gals! Don't worry, the site will stay up... the only question really is how will I "avoid life" now? Roman, it was nice to meet another one of my loyal fans before I return home.

So you can't avoid life any more? I guess you will get one in Toronto. At least I hope you will get one in Toronto. At least I hope you will get one somewhere. Let us know what kind of a life you get.

Safe Travels to You! I've been reading this from almost the start as well, and as I've said before... You make me Sad. But Best of Luck in Your continued Avoidance of Life!

I'm sure Japan misses you Jamie-san. Canada is glad to have you back though.

Say hi to the folks for me, now go get a job!

Leaving JP are you? Best of luck Jamie, now you'll have to start embracing life and leave the avoiding part to us. Safe travels my friend...

Thanks again guys. MrJ, I'll be sure to drop by your sexy site from time to time. Too bad we didn't get a chance to hang at Gas Panic again... on second thought, maybe that's not such a bad thing.
