Tokyo Time

—

, , ,

I booked this trip on a whim. The seat sale was so good I couldn’t pass it up.  Of course it is the off, off season but I live in Canada so how cold can it be?

As I don’t normally get on a plane unless I’m paid to (or there’s a dance lesson involved) my friends are intrigued and a bit worried by my new found “wings”.  As for me, there’s really no logical explanation. When I tell them I had a yen for sushi, they all groan in unison.  And now they’re really worried.

So I have decided I am just going to show up and see what happens.

Sayonara.

      Thank you Arlene! Once again you have proved an invaluable resource. I’ll keep you posted. Alberto has also weighed in so I should be in good shape for at least a lesson – if not a milonga.

I’m Catherine Larose — storyteller, traveler, and dweller in possibility.

For years I’ve been collecting stories in cafés, on trains, in airports, and around dinner tables.

Café Girl Chronicles is where I share reflections on connection, friendship, reinvention, and the people we meet along the way. Big moments may change the course of our lives, but it’s often the everyday exchanges—over coffee, conversation, and unexpected encounters—that become the stories we remember.

Those moments can happen anywhere. I’m simply looking for the places where they’re most likely to find me somewhere between life and latte.
