I figure the less you hear from me, and the more you see from James and Gary, the better.
These two guys are great friends I made during my time in Japan. They decided to go back to Japan this summer to explore parts they had yet to see, all by hitchhiking.
On Sunday night I was invited to a potluck and found myself in a house full of Chinese people, followed by an appearance at surprise birthday party for another Chinese friend. While wonderful food, desserts, and drinks were shared over the latest gossip, a few of us couldn't help but reflect on the stark contrast in the current situation half way around the world.
