This is a video that I found about a young boy and his mother in Japan. It’s a sad story, but worth seeing. He wrote it using ASCII text to make pictures. It has become so popular that it’s been translated, and turned into a video with soundtrack. I love Japanese culture. Especially their tiny trees.

Here are some pictures of us at Frog Pond at Boston Common.
