It’s not a bad thing, it’s just a bit strange for a country that I had little-no interest in before first working there in 2001.

I stopped at the Strand Saturday on my way from the bus drop off to Port Authority. I only meant to look for some of the Civil War Books but I somehow found myself in the Japan section

Geisha, Gangster, Neighbor, Nun and Public People, Private People just *jumped* into my basket. I’m also reading The Accidental Office Lady, which I picked up a few weeks ago at Kinokuniya. I’m so glad that opened at Palisades. It was basically the only option in Japan for English books until the new store opened in Shinsaibashi, but now it’s almost a treasure trove for books about Japan.

While I definitely had more of an interest in Japan the second go-round, I didn’t expect it to go like this. I’m definitely enjoying looking back at some old pics. I definitely miss Japan. Will I work there again? Not as an English teacher. Will I go back, almost definitely.
