T and his parents are in Hokkaido for the night. They left on the Shinkansen (bullet train) early Tuesday morning, while T left early this morning. They are to return late Thursday. I am relieved to have the apartment to myself but restless about the night. 

I can't believe it's been over a decade since I did a daily blog while studying abroad in Hong Kong.

Yesterday was our first anniversary of arriving in Japan. I've spent a lot of time the past year rediscovering old habits of mine. I've started reading and needlepointing again. At the onsen, I've relearned how to enjoy an ice bath like my teenage self loved long ago.

It has me wondering if this is something else I should restart.

My sister was the first to propose that I do a post every day as another goal or hobby to include in this phase of my life.

What do you think? Were you around when I wrote the first blog?

Should I make Midwest in Asia (Japan Version)?
