About 20 years ago, who would have guessed that the sleepy and isolated university in Bago Oshiro would eventually become an unexpected source of comfort for me. Through all those years that my life partner worked there, two of her cousins, our son and now, my niece’s daughter, have studied their way through its halls. More important, I have made friends, partied, and even played tennis with many of its occupants. Through all these, the kinship that developed between us had made me feel at home among them, despite not being a real member of that esteemed academic family.
