Sitting On The Dock of the Bay

Hey All.

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.
