Himeji: we finally made it


joylani 130pxEver since the last time I saw my uncle, a few months before Matt and I left on the trip, we’ve been saying, “We’re coming to see you in Himeji…but we just don’t know when.”  Japan is on the far east side of Asia, and we weren’t sure when we would finally make it out…that and we don’t usually plan specifics unless it involves a flight.  Well, happily, a few weeks ago we finally set the date and now we are here.  It’s nice to see my uncle again as I think I have only seen him once (and his family not at all) since he moved to Japan several years ago.  Not only has he done quite a bit of travelling of his own, but he is also a gifted artist and businessman, making him naturally much more interesting to hang out with than your average expat.  In addition he shares our affinity for Chinese dumplings, baozi, so if we weren’t already related, then we would kind of be like family anyways.  Needless to say, Matt and I are both looking forward to hanging out and spending some time in Himeji.
