A Nagoya Diary II
Wendy Gan
A de Chirico moment: monumental and mysterious...

Am I no longer in Japan? Did I rub my ruby slippers and end up in New England?

I am impressed by the attention to small things here. Reading glasses are on offer for use at the local post office.

There is even a holder for your umbrella at the Pensions Office desk during the rainy season.

I keep my eyes peeled for plants popping up in strange places.

You might find yourself a roadside watermelon.
