The next way of life meets the current

This is how he gets there
This is what he does
I wanted to take photo of him fishing but in a blinding flash he was on me, sword drawn for the kill. It wasn't until I looked down until I noticed that the Nikon was no longer and my rage could never bring her back. He was that fucking quick. I wish it were that lame a story but then I would be posting on raiderdyeyourshirts. The guy was mad cool and let me take his picture and we talked about the bike. He had lived in Canada about ten years ago and loved it but had to return as the company told him they needed him back in Tokyo. He told me about how he misses smoked meat sandwiches and going out into the Canadian countryside in his car. I noticed that he had a fishing licence hung from his belt and that it was rather large it seemed to be in the way. He explained that if it wasn't displayed for all to see then ward officers come an hassle you while your fishing so it's just easier to leave it out. I apologized as I had come and startled hassling him but he just chuckled and said that it was nice to talk about Canada again. I know the stereotype for Japanese business men is pretty harsh and some live up to salaryman title through and through but this guy was really cool. I couldn't imagine being placed in a city or a job and then, just when you were comfortable, being told that you have to return without even getting a pay raise probably.
