This week sees a 4-day weekend as China celebrates May Day (Labor Day) and there are now two teenagers living in my house. Some weekend plans, Supernatural Japan podcast talk and another weekend long walk. This time I ventured to a shrine that ended up being closed, but it took me to a very interesting neighborhood.
