百聞は一見にしかず
Ever since I hatched this plan of returning to Japan to live for a year in 2007 I’ve spent part of pretty much every day reading about Japan, hearing thoughts on Japan, or studying Japanese. Today is the day I finally get to do more than that. As this posts I am on a plane to Tokyo to begin a year of adventures.
The title of today’s entry “百聞は一見にしかず” is a kotowaza (Japanese proverb) that means it’s better to see (or do) something once than it is to hear (or read) about it a hundred times. I couldn’t agree more. I’m tired of the 百聞 and ready for some action.
