back in the spin cycle
no matter what i do, i can’t escape japan.
today might be more than three years since i left, but i’m still a bit caught off guard with how much that experience has affected me. maybe that is the beauty of being lost in translation. unfortunately, i’ve never been able to explain it very well in words, so here it is (one more time):
i think i just left part of me there forever, and sometimes i’d like to be able to get back to where that is.

for me, just being in that kind of environment was enough to totally change my perspective on not only design, but life in general. the bonus was the great people that i made friends with, and i think that is what keeps me nostalgic. you really can’t beat great friends.
