What a beautiful blog!! I had to chuckle and smile! I was thinking about you and your laugh!
I agree, what beautiful insights. I love learning about Japan through your eyes.
Hi Jane! Good to read your Blog again. The memories of Japan keep flooding back...iina - I miss it sometimes. You know you can find peanut butter - right?? I found Skippy, or was it Squirrel, all the time. If you are ever really missing Western food then try www.fbcusa.com or www.theflyingpig.com. There is also a Cosco in Osaka. Take care and eat heaps of salmon sushi with lots of wasabi and think of me. Nothing beats the real thing! Jill
