A Slipper Battle About ten months ago, a middle-aged woman complained to me about my slippers at the communal spa of my apartment building.

I’ve seen young Japanese behavior change everywhere. They don’t like being dirty. It’s not appealing to them to watch concerts in the rain soaking wet and getting muddy in the open air. That attributes a less crowd on Japanese beaches, too. They opt for a pool where they don’t get covered with sand. In restaurants, knives and forks are less available because they like to use chopsticks.

The hotel I checked in on my trip to Kyoto gave me a discount coupon for the buffet breakfast and I had it next morning at the restaurant.

A dream I wish to have in the night most isn’t about dating a Hollywood star, or making a great hit with my song. It’s not about my parents saying to me with tears “We were wrong.
