This is a most profound post. When things are written is far less important than what is written and why. It has made me think about my personal situation - coming from Wales and living in Australia. The two places couldn’t be more different, or further apart. Thank you for provoking my contemplation and a way of distilling my experience that I had not considered until now.
Thank you, Sally, for your time and comment. Writing about the contrasts between two places helped to put my presence in both worlds in a more intentional context, or I would like to think that it did :)
I love the introduction and a glimpse into your private thinking, especially about life as an immigrant in Japan. As a two time immigrant - India to the UK and UK to Japan - I feel like I know exactly what you mean about Japan providing the space to think clearly...I have a love for India and the UK from afar...but it is always in flux, and sometimes it doesn't work well (that feeling of being from some other place but feeling that same thing in your native lands)… and it is all very chaotic haha. But I think the good outweighs those times.
Thank you so much, as always, for your time and thoughtful note. Your experience across multiple countries comes through in your writing with a very understanding and compassionate tone.

Another magnificent post. Thank you, Burcu, for helping to keep my attachment to Japan robust till I return! xo
Thank you Valerie, and I am always reachable via email if you would like to discuss destination ideas.

Your photographs as always are outstanding!
