japan notes

lovely week traipsing thru the land of the rising sun...
things that have charmed me most:
1. it's so clean! same exotic magic that paris has but sans the dog poop.
2. it functions! the trains move on time! the water exits the auto taps!
3. it is delicious! mmmmmm oishi. especially tsukiji.
4. they are so helpful! even when they have no idea what you are asking!
5. and my rusty half-baked mandarin actually helps me get around!

not so charming though:
1. it's the land of the original male chauvinist, perhaps.
2. also the land of the ambulant cigarette. thank God for symbicort.
3. i've walked meself into some chronic compartment syndrome, i think. miss the car.
4. disgruntled teenagers.
