So, today it was raining in the morning. I was able to use my umbrella I purchased here for the first time. As I was walking to work I began to observe how much I stuck out, from everyone . I mean I have accepted the fact that I stand out because I am not Japanese, but I realized that my choice of umbrella was so "American." Everyone carries either a black, navy, cream, or clear umbrella. I had a green one. I found this rather amusing and so Japanese, no one wants to stand out, it is better to blend in. Anyways, as I was crossing the bridge that I love I noticed that a photo shoot of some sort was going on, intrigued I was watching and then I realized that the Green umbrella was a blessing and I would be noticed in the pictures... So I lingered longer in the background striking poses. Subtle action poses Yes, I did! I am not lying. I just hope that I didn't show the girls up. :-) Crazy American!
