english: My base of operations is in the U.S., but let's start at the other end of the map, in Kyoto, Japan, where I was living with a Japanese family while I was doing part of my dissertational research 15 years ago.
non_english: Moja základňa je v USA. Ale začnime na opačnom konci mapy, v Kyote, v Japonsku, kde som žila s jednou japonskou rodinou, kým som robila časť môjho dizertačného výskumu pred 15 rokmi.
