A very interesting side of Japan I never experienced! By never becoming 一人前 (ichinin-mae -- i.e., married with children) I managed to stay the outsider and privileged 外人 (gaijin -- foreigner).
It's a great post, but do I detect a mellowing in your views of Japan? Time and distance make the heart grow fonder....
I don’t feel like my views have changed whatsoever more that I am just less interested in writing about stuff like this although it would definitely be in a memoir because it’s part of parenting and my experience in the countryside! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Also I don’t try as hard to be funny anymore but maybe I should!
OMG! This is a riot! Write more funny stuff! I can hear the side-eye . . .
You are the sweetest Sally!!!!

Clearly, you were already a writer! It's really good. And what an interesting tradition.
Love this.
It’s funny to see my own writing from so long ago this was the first thing I ever put on the Internet!
