After a long summer in the U.S., I was really looking forward to having a haircut. I got to May’s Garden Spa in Roppongi Hills. I’m sure I’ve posted a description of the joys of a Japanese haircut – the massage, the hot tea, the massage, the quiet atmosphere, the…

This first week back in Tokyo, beyond unpacking, organizing, shopping and cooking, I have been consumed with the idea of where I fit in. Living this way – as an expat – is sometimes an existence that defies explanation to someone who hasn’t lived it themselves. Particularly here in Tokyo,…

I live in Tokyo. I am pleased to report that I am once again home in Tokyo. If you think about it, it’s a very odd existence that we lead: we pretty much live nine months in Tokyo and 3 months in the U.S. When we’re Stateside, we miss our…

There are days when I miss living in the American suburbs. Today is one of them. As I write, I am sitting on the back deck at my aunt and uncle’s house in Port Washington, NY, out on Long Island. I can hear a thousand different birds making varying tweets…

This week I have had the occasion to go into Walmart not once, but twice. The first time I had to buy a cheapie cell-phone into which I placed my SIM card because my regular cell phone is broken and the new one will be delivered on Tuesday. The second…
