Just got into Osaka.

I think the humidity is about 99% and the temperature is about 95 degrees.

I would hate to live in this everyday, but it feels really good. I missed the humidity.

You know it is humid outside when you can wave your arm and feel the air.


I haven't been here in seven years.

There is noise everywhere.

I didn't hear it when I lived here.

The train running by and people talking.

The electronics, cars and sirens.

The electronic voices talking to you on the street, bathroom, stores and train station.

This wasn't all noise to me when I lived in Tokyo.

I didn't hear it.

People adapt well.

When I first moved to Idaho I had a hard time falling asleep in the quite.

I was scared of the wide spaces.

I felt claustrophobic in the open field with no noise.

Now I feel claustrophobic in small places like I should be.

Two completely different cultures embedded in my mind.

Which am I? After years of contemplation, I still haven't figured it out.

I dream of being in Japan when I am in the States and I dream of being in America when

I am in Japan.
