On Sunday I went to glaze the pottery that I made with the Volunteer Interpreters group. I was excited to see how my pieces turned out! When I arrived at the shop I was happy to see my friends and surprised to see... a photographer. It turns out that foreigners making pottery in Tahara is a newsworthy event! Since that time MANY people have commented on the news article, asking me questions about what I made, the fact that I might give it to my grandmother, clarifying confusion about my name [the article listed me as "Brandon san" and everybody knows me as Keely], etc. It's been interesting. Apparently a lot of pepole really read the paper cover to cover!
