Well, I’m back in Japan, having journeyed halfway around the world for the nth time. Even while still at the airport, I was subjected to little culture shocks at being back here, like a cleaning lady patiently tidying the men’s bathroom while men did their business a few feet away, or that bizarre statue of an “American” hot dog covering himself in ketchup and mustard, located in the arrival lobby of Terminal 1. When traveling from Japan to the U.S., I get a day “free” thanks to the International Date Line, but coming back, I had to surrender it, so that both Monday and Tuesday were completely used up traveling. Well, it’s nice to be back, and I hope to be over my jet lag soon!
