I'm back in San Francisco. The two month trip to Japan was extraordinary. It is an amazing country and the people are superbly polite, cultured and fascinating. I can't begin to praise them enough. From the relaxing onsens (public baths) to their amazing subway system, the cleanliness of their city, their attention to detail, the crime-free safety of their streets, they have a lot we could learn from. I will catch up with you all individually soon, but wanted you all to know I'm home safe, but feeling a little culture shocked on my return.
Here are two more pics that I think are unique to Japan. The first is a photo of banana cases you can buy to store those precious bent fruits.

The second is a notice I saw at a restaurant on my last night there. It speaks for itself.
