the west exit at yamagata eki. today. it was overcast.
today was one of those days where the life i have created for myself in japan felt really small. i had the pleasure of having an hour to kill in yamagata before getting on my train. first, on my way up the escalator to the station, i ran into a girl i know, and this guy i know through jason. then, i got into the gustos (oh their cheeseburgers are amazing!) and was sitting there just looking at the menu when i hear ronan's fabulously irish voice exclaim, "hey, it's diandra!" and look up to see him and bec walk in, where we grab the bigger table over and all order cheeseburgers and pizzas and chow down. so good! then, im about to get on my train and i run into allie, who is a new teacher in yonezawa. so i had someone to talk on the train with on my way back! definitely makes me feel like ive accomplished something.

It's great that you've found people and things that make Japan more familair and homey to you.
yes, irish voices are always fabulous...and i'm surrounded by them right now! aaah, it's good to be back.
