...to grow my very own "Japanese flag" on my left cheek during our first few days in Japan? The thing was huge! I'm talking Mount Fuji huge!!! And...I couldn't stop touching it! It was kind of like the big mole Fred Savage has on his face in the Austin Powers movie. People (including Mrs. TBF) would talk to me, and instead of looking me in the eyes, they would be staring cross-eyed at my "flag".
Even a part of my box lunch on the train from Tokyo to Kyoto was hypnotized by it!
