I really enjoyed reading your post. As a Japanese, I've never even thought of an aspect of being isolated, but indeed, geography does play a big role in our culture. Thank you for your insight and beautiful photos. Best wishes for the new year from Kanazawa!
Thank you for this! Through this essay I have gained conceptual inroads into Turkey, New Zealand, Laos, and, of course, Japan. This feeling of international consideration is what makes the web so amazing!
Thank you so much for your enlightening analyses, your advice and the beautiful photos. Having just returned to Switzerland after a three-month stay in Japan with my Japanese wife, I found your last letter to be a remarkably accurate reflection of my own experiences. I eagerly look forward to your future posts. Wishing you joy throughout December!
This means the world to me as I was a little scared that this last letter would come out as a little too critical/controversial. And I have to say that I adore Switzerland, one of the bad sides of living in Japan is no longer being able to go on yearly hiking trips to Switzerland.
I am really enjoying your writing! Best wishes for the new year from Wales and I look forward to reading more about your insights into your life next year!
So so happy to hear it. It is an exceptionally beautiful country but what makes it even more precious is the welcoming attitude and thank you for that.

A really insightful piece! Speaking to the New Zealand section, as a kiwi, I can say you’ve done a brilliant job at capturing the spirit of the place.
