One that is very familiar (even without restaurants) is daikon.

I loved being in Japan. I told my partner that if we were not together I would move there. I wouldn't be able to get Mr. M to move anywhere.

I tend to prefer mysteries, so reading your thoughts on these two books showed me a very different style of both writing and reading. The book Strange Weather sounds quite interesting.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-16447068314005820372020-06-03T12:04:27.058-04:002020-06-03T12:04:27.058-04:00Japanese culture have always inspired me as a kid....Japanese culture have always inspired me as a kid. I still remember when we were learning about Japan in the school, what stood out in the lesson was the arrangement of flowers in Japan known as Ikebana and their dress known as kimono.<br /><br />Thanks for writing this post, I'm always the one who gets inspired by different names in the food captions and run to google to know what is kimchi Let's Curry https://www.blogger.com/profile/04152562202574077285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-61069203712968668932020-06-03T11:25:57.759-04:002020-06-03T11:25:57.759-04:00Dearest Mae,

My dream for the future.<br />Writing an academic type of handbook is not easy but I'm at chapter 8, out of 12. Two more big ones ahead and then I'm FREE! Well, some more work to do before it finalizes but simpler!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37695777.post-45486552553751849952020-06-03T10:21:35.499-04:002020-06-03T10:21:35.499-04:00Sounds pretty interesting.

I have visited Japan on of all things a school trip as an exchange with my district's sister city. No one told me not to bring open toed shoes as they are poo-pooed in schools. I did bring dress up clothes, because I knew they were formal. And they are. That itself was a big cultural difference.
