Japanese Countryside

Correction: It would have helped in my last post if I had initially made clear that Momofuku Ando was the inventor of instant ramen. In my excitement, I neglected that important fact.

Also, my last post was not intended to elicit dinner invitations, but Jennifer and Sung-ti, thank you. I'll be there. I'll bring some banana cream pie if any is left by then.

Finally, I have a simple but fantastic video of the Japanese countryside that brings back happy memories - the sites and sounds take me back. Watching this, I was also reminded of some imagery in Howl's Moving Castle by Hayao Miyazaki.

And this one should need no explanation.
