That's me after my talk at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan on Monday. 30-40 people came, an interesting mix of journalists and my parents' friends and some others. I think it went well! I talked about the challenges of writing about Japan for a US audience. I didn't eat the chicken-and-avocado dinner that was served to me before the talk because I didn't want to be bloated while I talked.


Thanks. Arigato. I enjoyed it very uch as one of some others. For your sign, too, on the book.
