Such Altruistic People!

I've spent the last week here in Japan alone.  No, it's okay, I've been keeping myself busy.  When a co-worker of my host found out that I would be here alone, she informed me that I should call her.  Now in America, this is generally the "polite" thing to say.  However, I'm learning that when abroad, people actually mean it.  (even if they don't, I jump right on it:))

Well Estuko meant it.  She previously asked me what I would like to do and since I had not yet visited a museum, I suggested that.  I figured we would be gone for three maybe four hours.  Wrong!  We spent the entire day in Yokohoma.  Starting at the Yokohama Museum of Art then off to do some shopping.   I was so impressed with her altruism and patience.  We were gone literally the entire day.  

I'm so happy that I continuously encounter people who are willing to extend themselves to me.  It's a reminder for me to make time for others when in the midst of my Gianinaness.  Thanks Etsuko!!
