		<description><![CDATA[It's been a day since I've been to Winslow's Home, and I'm still struggling to find the right definition for this snug shop in the heart of St. Louis, MO.

The surprise of walking into a shop that, at first, looked like a small, cozy bookstore, tells me that this isn't just another book-coffee hangout spot, either.]]></description>

I have been asking for directions since the first day I got to Japan. Yet, I think labeling this post as merely about direction-asking is quite inappropriate as I&#8217;ve found [...]]]></description>
