Japan is entirely peopled by sufferers of OCD - in a good way. Everything is so ordered, fits so neatly together. There is purpose and reason behind every action, every aspect of everything has been considered, condensed and formalised.
Amongst this I feel lose & clumsy. Yesterday I almost slipped off my legless chair, out of my robe and stuck my head through the paper sliding screen. I also feel like an infectious barbarian, sniffling and weeping, dribbling my contagiousness across a sanitised country.
