My bestest sent me a care package from Canada. Although I had wanted to publish the second half of the Yokohama trip and my experiences with dolphin meat, I felt compelled to share this to the world. Why? Let this simple equation illustrate:

Bestest friend > Yokohama + dolphin meat

Being alone in Japan can be very daunting. There are days when I step on nothing but cracks, I meet all the black cats in the neighbourhood, the mirrors crack, and I walk under all scaffolding and ladders alike. I guess in Japan, it’s the equivalent to everyone writing my name in red, seeing all kinds of 4 and 9 references in my day, and finding chopsticks stuck upright in my rice bowl.

Those are times when a kindred spirit is most needed because food therapy and shopping therapy can only do bad things to the waist line and credit line.

Packages from friends back home reminds me of the good times and provides some chicken soup for the soul. It reminds me to slow down and it allows me to focus on the most important things in life, like me. Because I am that loud, attention-needy creative type from elementary school that is rather fun to be around, but when left to our own devices manage to go a little more than off the deep end. Save me from the deep end and comment to feed my ego. Thank you in advance.

Enjoy the video. It’s also my very first video in HD! WOW! I solved the internet!

  • This is wonderful Ana! I recall the elation of receiving letters when I was in Japan and you are most certainly blessed to be receiving care packages of much love. I adore how you light up at every single gift. You are awesome and you are surrounded by people who do that justice.

    Much love !
