United Part I

@JV: Thank you, JV. I found a lot of inner peace during my three years in Japan. This photo sums it up neatly. I appreciate the visit and comment. Thanks. :)

@Stu: This is how I focused on much of my surroundings during the first three months in Japan. It's amazing what several thousand kilometres of ocean between you and your loved one can cause.*

* Not to mention booze.

@Lydia: I'm much obliged for the exclamation point(s) and ecstatic happiness I felt from your comment. Cheers! :)

@Widhi: Thank you, Widhi.
