The Nod

Santa's Helpers

After spending a bit of time here in Japan I've noticed something. Do you know the "nod"? It's a head nod of recognition between one person of color and another in the USA. Here in Japan many American Gaijin (foreigners) regardless of race will do the nod to other Americans. What do you think that means?

Cheers!

A day in Ueno

I'll start this post with someone I met in Ueno. Genki is trying to protect this monument to peace and remembrance of the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima. He fears the new caretakers at Toshogu Shrine will remove it. I'll try to get more information in a future post.

Here are some images of fall in Ueno-koen and Toshogu Shrine.





Cheers!
