Things I will never understand with neither Anglos nor Japanese people: having job-related events (like talks, etc) on weekends or meetings at lunch time.

When I'm suggested a meeting during lunch time, my answer is a clear, plain and simple "hell no!" (also, I'm not available during lunch break, even if I'm very obviously in my office).

There are some slaps in the face that hurt more than some others.
There is this nice little restaurant near campus. I often go. It's owned by a couple. My wife is friends with the woman. Their son is my daughter's age, they go to the same school, even were in the same class when younger. I walked by it this evening, I casually glazed at the posters they often have on their window and... one of them was for the Sanseito!!! WTF?!?!?

Just an interesting machiya (traditional Japanese townhouse) that I encountered this morning.

Oh, that was a Shindo 5, not a Richter 5.

I hope y'all are okay in the Eastern part of the country.
