Another moment of triumph. ..To understand this fully you need to know I have a terrible fear of tight spaces. Today Nobu took us to see one of the world's largest Buddha shrines. Inside there is a large pillar with a hole carved into representing the nose hole of the Buddha. To climb through the hole is good luck. I decided I would give it a try but was beginning to freak out as I watched people wriggling through. I about decided not to even try. But in the spirit of "No regrets" I was able to force away the fear, took a deep breath and dove in. My fear must have been apparent because once I got through, everyone waiting in line applauded my efforts. Rei (Nobu's eldest daughter) was even approached by a random stranger who asked her if I was married. HA!
