“up until my wife starts falling asleep beside me. I laugh to myself, and wait for the slow walking to begin.“ Hahahahah! I love this.
Are you having fun writing these Japan musings? There’s such an infectious energy that comes across when I’m reading them. It’s refreshing! I hope you're enjoying writing them as much as we are all enjoying reading them.
It sounds like the Japanese really love moody vibes? Night, shadows, mystery. I’m all for it.
When I read these, I’m always like, damn, Oscar is doing A LOT. Are you tired? When do you sleep? That’s probably why your wife was falling asleep during the meditation.
I am indeed having fun! It's so reassuring to know you're having fun reading them :)
Indeed they do love all things moody, and agree you would enjoy it very much!
You're amazing at reading between the lines! Or just reading through me. How do you know I'm barely sleeping? That has started to take a toll, but definitely worth it!
Another amazing chapter in your Zen on the rocks journey. I enjoyed reading about your shared meal with your new friends. You capture the intimate moment so beautifully. Although you all come from different countries each with its distinct qualities, you come together to enjoy the things all humans take pleasure in -- food & connection.
Ooof that would've been amazing! Or just having you there, I'm sure you would've enjoyed as much as I did... and definitely keeping this in mind as a potential scene / short film :)
Wow! I now need to revise my mental impressions of what a monk is. The serendipity of your travels is marvelous. The dinners and conversations that stem from unplanned encounters is inspiring. Thanks for sharing your journey here with us. It’s great to travel with you through your words!
Thank you so much Jon! It's great to have friends like you coming along supporting this trip from the distance, which has definitely been serendipitous and inspiring for myself.
Very nice, Oscar. This piece gave me a feeling of calm and tranquility, which I gather is exactly what you were experiencing. And these beautiful photos enrich your words and the reader's sense of being present in your story. Great job. :)
Thank you so much Silvio! Your kind words are always encouraging to read. Glad to know you liked the pictures, especially coming from a seasoned photographer like you!

Also, Pancho the monk!! Amazing.

Thank you Rachael! That's exactly how it felt and glad it got conveyed, completely agree, it's all about food and connection in the end!
I see a short film ... for some reason I wish I could've been the camerawoman to document this and live this experience through you!
Ooof that would've been amazing! Or just having you there, I'm sure you would've enjoyed as much as I did... and definitely keeping this in mind as a potential scene / short film :)
Yo sabía que el Okonomiyaki era mágico, pero no sabía que tanto. Me dieron ganas de estar en esa cena!
Hubieras encajado perfecto! Y totalmente de que el okonomiyaki es mágico 😂😂 Un día de estos hacemos uno 😉

I had to revise my impression too 😂
