Another day in the countryside!

a nice view, isn't it?
I've always thought how the world is endless and the seven seas lead to infinity.
This is true in many ways, but since I ain't no adventurer and at least life is not eternal, there's only limited ways to experience it.
Japan is a small island country compared to many fascinating nations of this world, but there's still many cultures and specialties to discover buried in obscurity. Some are so common to the people living in the area that they feel nothing in particular about them. But as a foreigner looks at them in different angles, a new story emerges.
I feel joy in finding these treasures and I believe there's more to find in this small but dense nation. I feel lucky I'm not just a tourist hangin' around, but a journalist that has an obligation to think about how and where to find the hidden recipes and think how to serve the new dishes filled with ideas that will have never been reported without myself doing so.
Well I'm not always a fighter, but at least I have a chance to make some noise by reporting.
Thanks to my job, I can be at the scenes and move on to evolution just doing my job in a wonderful country where much more changes are needed with lots of homework left to be done.
