A Wind from Japan...

My staff who went to a short trip to Japan returned today with so many stories that I was so envious to here about. Photos of sushi and udon were the most painful to see as I miss them so much! There were some work to do today too, but how can I concentrate with such enticing stories being told in front of me!?
I won't be able to go back to Japan for at least half a year, and my only hope is to get to Dubai to jump into a Japanese restaurant. We don't have any tickets to go there in Nowruz time and as I've already mentioned, I have to follow up on the Afghan meeting in the end of the month, which will only give me a chance... maybe... to get there after next month...
A wind from Japan today made me more desperate to feel the senses of my native country again and at least have some of the food I dearly miss...

Today, coincidentally, we had a Japanese visitor and she made some rice rolls for me!

I didn't shed any tears, but I really felt like doing so eating these!

Wait till I'll have some sushi the next time... I'm really going to smile through my tears!

PS
A souvenir from Japan...

my wife got some of these for my staff to take back to us!

In the nighttime, at my home...

I finally took out all the Japanese goods in the boxes! quite a lot, but I'm sure they'll be gone soon!
