Clear Skies

I had a beautiful view of Fuji today from where I taught my first class this morning. Too bad I didn't have my camera with me - it was one of the best views I've ever seen. What has struck me since I've been back in Japan is just how clear the skies are here. In China they were smoggy, foggy or overcast all the time. Here they are clear, beautiful blue with hardly a cloud in the sky. Amazing. I feel so much better when I can see the sky clearly. Never noticed that before.
