I do two Chapels a month for seniors and beginning in January will do a junior one every month too. We started to use the first book this year and will begin using the second book in April. I see most exhibits at an art museum that is easy to get to - and a favourite there was an exhibit of glassware and jewellery of Rene Lalique. I quite often go to the National Photography Museum as well and have been seen many good shows there. This is a great help because English books aren't all that easy to come by.
Japan continues to fascinate.
I haven't done much travel in the country - and none in Asia. But there is so much to learn just by interacting with people, reading the newspaper and such. Things can look Western on the outside but the Japanese way of thinking or doing is just under the surface. It is hard to explain. I am more apt to look for the underlying differences.
