Something that has impressed me about many of the Japanese people we've met this month has been their genuine hospitality and sincere interest in life-long friendships. This past week in Tokyo I've been able to catch up with old friends that I haven't seen or talked to in ten years. Seeing them again was as if no time had passed at all in our hearts. So, for those of you Niigata friends still reading this blog, know that our teary farewells will eventually lead to happy reunions... in less than a decade, I promise.
Especially you, Mari-chan!
(This three-year-old, Mariko, is at the top of my BFF list, right now. Her mom, Taeko, is super-fantastic, too. I can't wait to them again.)
