Finding our footing

My Japanese fella, Naoki, told me yesterday… “Whenever I tell people about you, like ‘My girlfriend is American,’ I always tell them that you are not like any other American… that you are very interested in Japan and learning the customs.  You are different… I always say like that.”  Its always nice to feel special in your relationship, but since there are so few of our type of pair, apparently I am also original within a nationality as well.   Well, hello smile.
