 ====== Arrival ======
+<poem>
+Japan, don't make me fall in love again.
+You know I have a soft stomach.
+I am not the same man that you remember. I've been scorched by light. The light of the sun, the light of knowledge, of love reflecting from the ice.
-Hm
+Today you were good to me. You know I have a weakness for compassion.
+A cop in the police station saw me fumble with my phone and insisted on directing me to the nearest Ramen restaurant. A man in the Ramen restaurant insisted on buying me a noodle refill - A gesture for a foreign student friend, he said. Again the hair on my arm became an attraction. I still find it hard to understand how is it that you shun from hand shaking, but have no inhibitions for feeling someone's arm-hair without asking.
+You're also interested in what I do.
+Tomimatsu-sensei, my professor in-charge, is interested in organizing a Soft Robotics workshop. I happen to know how to do that. If I am able to build my Palestinian robot under this framework, I need to look no further.
+Both Finland and Japan have a sterile purity to them that leaves me baffled.
+Both of them invite you to dig deeper into their soul, until you reach the dirt, but without actually saying that.
+However, they are not the same.
+I finished reading [[https://www.press.umich.edu/9732/conversations_on_science_culture_and_time|"Conversations on Science, Culture and Time"]].
+This is a book I'd like to buy and keep, so I can open it up every once in a while and be inspired.
+Next on my list:
