| Shoemeister in Tokyo |
 I suppose I'll never be far along enough in my Japan re-education to stop thinking that signs and buildings in Japan are funny. If you can't read the katakana above, the "Shuumaistaa Shop" sells German footwear. Wearing Birks. Sellin' shoes. It's the shoemeister...
While waiting to be interviewed for the dream-boat job, I stayed near Ueno, which is a chaotic hub with a park, zoo, street markets, and herds of commuters. Next door to Ueno is the historical Asakusa district, which is packed with digital cameras toted by sheep-like tourists in hats.
 The glittery Asahi Super Dry building above is supposed to represent a tall, foamy mug of beer, with a very lost golden sperm making a run towards it. I think.
 Moral of this story: Rushing for the train will shock new mothers and strollers, plus you'll make babies AND suitcases cry. Don't do it! The tears of a Samsonite should dissuade you if the worried pram doesn't. Tokyo police salutes you for your compliance. |

| So wrong it's right. And then wrong. And then wrong again... welcome to the inaka. |

About Me: “No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - 'devoted and obedient'. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.” (Florence Nightingale)
