A list of some of our favorite things (in Japan):
- The Engrish we encounter. "Facial tissue, nicer to your skincare. All comfort and contentment are yours."
- The random summer festivals
- Instant ramen
- Playing two-person Catch Phrase
- Reading Silence together
- Riding the subway
- Having a western bed to sleep on
- Bowing in place of speaking Japanese
- Japanese ice cream, fizzy drinks, 1$ snacks, and the convenient stores where we purchase these treats
- The internet
- Exploring our neighborhood
- The bakery at Tokyu
- People who speak English to us
- And the over sized crows. Okay, we don't actually like those, but they are crazy to look at.
I'm sure our list will grow as time goes on.

Silence is one of my favs!!!!! I'm so excited that you're reading it. I just finished reading 'Deep River' by him. Good too...very thought provoking
Really, really glad you are enjoying Silence. It was always one of the works that sparked the most discussion in Faith in Contemporary Lit.
