Four Asians at Hare & Tortoise


Two Japanese and two Filipino women--an interesting combination.

When I met Eka, Masako and Marian at the institute inductions, we instantly got along, just talking about Japanese pop culture. We had dinner at the Brunswick centre a few days later, discussing more seriously this time, touching on the future of Japan and the power of media.

Incidentally, Eka was approached by a Briton on our way to the bus stop. He said he had not eaten for three days, which we found quite odd because he was a huge man and looked perfectly alright. Eka said he smelled of alcohol.

This is us in front of the biggest Waitrose in London, also in Brunswick, near Russell Square station. Once all the shops open, it should be a beautiful, lively place.
