This morning on the train, a couple was standing next to me. He was in business clothes with a briefcase, she dressed nicely but more casually. Both around 40, he had a bald pate with a good shock of hair in the back. Both were wearing glasses. She had a ponytail. She stood with her hands on his shoulders, and murmured "isshokenmei" (一所懸命: do your very best）. He nodded and got off the car, briefcase in hand.
I really like your blog, and this kind of hit home for me as I just left Japan after living there for over 3 years. :) Thanks for this post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Zach! Where did you live in Japan?
ReplyDeleteI used to live in Taura, Kanagawa. I was stationed there 2009-2012. :) I went all over Saitama, Tokyo, Yokohama, and so on. I REALLY miss it there.
DeleteI'm not so far from there! I have a friend at Ikego.
