Hi Blog. Following up from yesterday’s blog entry on “Big Garbage Day”, let me ask Readers: What’s the favorite thing you’ve found in the Gomi?
I’ll start: Tatami mats. Took them back to my one-room apartment and instantly felt like I had leveled up in life. During my first few months of my first year in Sapporo in an upper-middle-class neighborhood. Good thing I was only aged 22 and it was a bachelor pad. And I hadn’t yet realized I was allergic to tatami. But I slept on a futon atop the allergenics for many months anyway.
What are your stories? Debito Arudou, PhD
