Onto whatever else. Since I have been in this unfamiliar place for a couple months now, I have gotten somewhat used to being uncomfortable all the time. Still, there have been a few moments where I experience something that snaps me back to home. Last week it was the bagpipes I heard being played beyond the park by my seminar house. It was so jostling, for the rest of the night I could not shake that puzzled, bittersweet feeling of random connectedness to something I could never explain.
This week it was at the mall in downtown Hirakata. We passed by the children's clothing section after an unsuccessful DS hunt and I heard Corey say, "Hey look." Well:
There's home, on a headless child's figure on the 4th floor of some mall called "Vivre" in Hirakatashi, some relatively tiny, dirty prefecture of Osaka, Japan.

Andrea,
Can't imagine how a Louisville sweatshirt ended up on a mannequin in a mall in Japan! McClain is here and sends a big hello. Marci - ditto. We'll see you soon and talk to you even sooner.
Love, Mom
Andrea -
I read your blog often. As with Andrew's comments it's often the unexpected "small" moments that register the most impact. Hope I get to ask the 1000 questions I have about your great adventure. Stay safe & have fun.

Andrea, we love your blog! Your writing style is quite unique. Your dad is visiting with us now and we've enjoyed having him so much. He speaks openly about his pride in you. I think he has enjoyed playing golf everyday and we've enjoyed all we've shared with him. Great food too!
Love, Aunt Phoebe
