WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BLOGS

I post about the recent closure of my favorite ramen shop here in a little village in countryside Japan and a person from NYC comments in return about the closure of his/her favorite neighborhood bakery-- our losses are shared-- for a brief yet constant moment in cybertime two people on opposite sides of the world, who have never met or spoken to each other and likely never will, are linked by a SUBJECT, for all to see. Daily I share the joys and sorrows of friends I've never met from around the world. That's what I love about blogs: they give voice to the big family.
