My wife and I were not prepared for Lapland weather, but thanks to many bits of help, we got all the gears we need and made it.

Read MoreAnother Gala tonight! I went to the Gala dinner of the Japan Society of Boston last night and today I went to another Gala event by MAPS. MAPS stands for Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese speakers and they work with and for the Brazilian, Cabo Verdean, Portuguese and other Portuguese-speaking communities to increase access and remove barriers to health, education and social services through direct services, advocacy, leadership, and community development.
Each year, the Annual Gala Dinner of The Japan Society of Boston celebrates global citizens whose life's work has helped to build peace and friendship between Boston, Japan, and the world. The Dinner also provides an opportunity to support the diverse activities of the Japan Society of Boston, a catalyst for cultural, educational, and business ties between our nations.
My wife gave me such a beautiful night for a kimono date and dinner. We both are trying to be a powerful and beautiful couple like those we respect. How do you enjoy the authentic Japanese experience in Boston?
