Views from my daily commute

This is what I get to look at every day on my walk to work: It’s a little under 2 miles from my apartment to work, and takes about 18 minutes to walk from start to finish. Of course, I’m talking about walking at an Osaka pace, so it would really be more like 25 … Continue reading »
