China Trip: Epilogue

Those who follow the audio diary of my trip to China for Christmas and New Year remember that my camera mysteriously disappeared from my pocket in Xi'an.

I bought a disposable camera to get by, but as I met a Swedish couple and a Japanese guy by the way I did many photos, had left the camera without revealing ... so far.

The pictures have gone bad or very bad, practically only three I took in Macao are saved. (The clerk showed them to me told me to put the camera in Nikon, but it looked like to be false. Hmmm, really?)

Since I took them because I remembered my mother, a librarian it hang them here. Mom, is for you!

Oh, an old building ...

... I get to take a picture ...

... and it is a library!

With two floors very well used, especially

full of newspapers and magazines.

Just when everyone thought "I am the first, that this had been in a travel blog, updated a few times a year ... I'm back!

Now that I have recently returned from holiday in Spain, and therefore I am lucid, I take to write something, however short. In February next year, will mark 6 years of my move to Tokyo. And the truth is that it is something that haunts me.

A professor of French Aikido, visiting Tokyo, told me years ago:

"I lived 5 years in Japan, and then returned to France. It can be divided into two groups of people who have lived in Japan who have been less than 5 years and have been more, then you are 15 or 20 years, or forever. "
