Thank you for taking me on a mind tour of Japan. I have never been there, but you & your dad have planted the seeds of desire in me to one day do so.

Your comments on Japanese culture are excellent, particularly with regard to your comparisons between our two countries on the issue of respect with strangers. That’s a big deal with me. It’s my experience that how you treat others will either boomerang back into the hand that tossed it or into the face in a most painful manner. Knowing your personality, I am certain you left a sweet taste in the mouths of those with whom you came in contact.

Wonderfully written. Maybe Americans should travel more - it really gives one humility, perspective, and a deep respect for other peoples and cultures!
