Baby Steps


I recently just landed for my first time in an Asian country. Landed might not be the best word since my feet haven't stopped moving since I arrived. Needless to say I am here in Japan, experiencing new things everyday trying to simply take baby steps before I lose my footing. I would like nothing more than to fall head over heals for the country but feel to distant from that now to fathom. The previous two years that I have spent studying Japanese feel like barely a foot in the door after realizing the local dialects make my journey all the more interesting. The funniest thing is that the crows don't even sound the same in Japan. You know your feeling lost in a country when you can't even recognize the sounds of nature.
