A statement from Gabriella: 

"I wrote this piece because, during the time of Covid, my travels have come to a halt. I think the people of the world need to keep discovering each other and the places where they live, the foods that they eat and the languages that they speak. 

Much appreciation to my friends in Japan, particularly Michiko and the late Takeshi, whose open hearts and kindness have been a gift."
