The Japanese Reader.

This was taken during my flight to Kuala Lumpur via Air Asia airlines. Due to some problems, my mom and  I were seated separately from each other, and I was seated in between two women. I was minding my own business when I noticed the passenger beside me reading an unfamiliar type of book...from the form of the letters I knew it had to be Japanese calligraphy. She was so engrossed in the novel she didn't even realize I was taking 2 to 3 photos of her....trying my best to capture her without disturbing her concentration. Best thing about this trip is how in the end, the Japanese tourist & I had a good talk about each other and our lives and even the earthquake and nuclear problems in Japan. I need to travel alone more often. :)
