Una Mattina in Giappone


“Buongiorno!” a man approaching me says excitedly. Being mistaken for an Italian person was the last thing I expected while walking to Tsukiji this morning.

“B-buongiorno!” I respond, jovially.

There was a pause as we both tried to think of something else to say, he in his excitement of spotting another Italian in Tokyo, and me in my surprise of being mistaken for an Italian person in Tokyo.

We stutter and smile, both finally speaking as we walk past each other.

“Ciao!” in unison.
