(via Life In Japan: Otsuka Museum of Art | John Rachel) Japan continues to dazzle and amaze me. This past weekend, Masumi took me to the Otsuka Museum of Art, and it was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen.

Masumi and I are fascinated by elephants. Around Chiang Mai, there are a number of places to see them. We chose Elephant Camp because the folks there are very humane in their treatment of these amazing creatures.

(via A Page From God’s Diary | John Rachel) Ironically all of the bad news has put me in the best of moods. I'm giddy all over! This unlikely reaction to a world gone mad prompted my writing the first satirical piece to come out in quite a while. Did you know God kept a diary?

(via Life In Japan: A Typical Sunday | John Rachel) If last Sunday wasn't typical, it was representative. There's no doubt about it, I do some very different things here in Japan ... and I love it!

(via Life In Japan: Rice Balls | John Rachel) When Americans needs to eat on the fly, they grab a hamburger. When Japanese need to eat on the fly, they grab a rice ball. Suggestion: Choose what you eat as if your life depended on it.

You've heard the expression, "The world is an oyster." It's attributed to Shakespeare, from The Merry Wives of Windsor. I have to come clean. I never bought into that. In fact, for some reason lately I'm leaning toward: "The world is a potato." Which puts a whole new spin on global warming, wouldn't you say?
