Hello everyone. I just thought I'd put up a short note to let you all know we're doing fine. Yesterday, Charity and I went with a few students to the Mexican restaurant I like so much at Shinsaibashi in Osaka. I especially enjoyed explaining Mexican food to people who had never tried it before. There are some things I really miss about Mexico, particularly, the food. The really strange thing is that I can get better Mexican food it Japan than I ever could in Saskatoon. Go figure.
I hope you like this picture. I thought it looked very interesting. Japan is a very commercialized society. This is a little disappointing, because crass commercialization is one of the things that really irritates me about being back home in North America. They try to sell everything here and the advertisements are bigger and sometimes even more outrageous than the ones in Canada. This one looked nice though, especially in reflection in the windows across the street. Charity and I also had the opportunity to explore the Dotonbori river area a little more yesterday and I took a few interesting pictures. Enjoy. I hope you are all doing well. Take care and God bless.
