Soe cottage, Nagano

From right to left, because that’s the way they do things here: Tets’s dad, Tets’s mom, Tets’s aunt, Tets’s aunt’s friend, Tets’s mom’s mom, Tets’s dad’s mom, Tets’s dad’s dad. Got that? These are the people with whom I spent my weekend, going shopping a lot and doing chores like cutting down trees. It’s a little different from hanging out with goth-lolis in Harajuku, for sure.
