A very surprisingly good walk and talk - Uta picked me up from the station and communicated the evening before to ensure that I understood where to meet. As she lived in England, her English was very good. Besides her knowledge of the sites, we had a very open discussion on raising children and family/ work life balance. Her insights and sharing of experiences, added to my understanding of Japanese culture, modern and ancient. Thank you!
