Eiji and Taichi, father and son, are always on the move. Eiji grew up in a tiny mountain village in rural Japan. He left to go to university in Tokyo, where he met his wife Michiko. But soon enough, not even the bright lights of Shinjuku sufficed. When a business opportunity came up, Eiji somehow convinced Michiko - now seven months pregnant with their first and only child Taichi - that it'd be a great idea to move to a country they barely knew anything about: Australia. Fast forward 35ish years, and the moves have kept coming. Taichi, a tech bigwig, is now based in Silicon Valley, while Eiji and Michiko have decided to live out their blessed dotage near Eiji's home village back in Japan. Lost? Us too. But one thing you'll find in this episode is a poignant tale about the energy, the cost, and the guilt of choosing to split oneself all over the world. Did Eiji think about the long term consequences of choosing to settle in a place a long way from his parents? Did Taichi, when the wheel came full circle? Tune in for a story about migration and strain, love and gratitude. Oh, and Taichi and Michiko's interesting custom of talking to each other across a shower curtain.
