made in Taiwan
This is a journal of Kenneth Akio Werneburg. Recorded by a father with a website, a camera, and no sense of shame, it chronicals the adventures of a Canadian-Japanese boy growing up in Tokyo.
The name of the website was inspired by KAW's incidental conception while we were on a trip to Taipei.
This website brought to you by the letter:
One thing I hadn't really counted on in becoming a father (among so many others) was the many effects on my health. My weight's been bouncing up and down, for one thing. I reached a high of 98kg this summer, up from about 94kg at the time the kid was born. Now I'm back down to 92kg. I don't entirely know why.
Another thing is the plantar fasciitis. When I lived in Halifax I had adopted the somewhat sedentary local lifestyle and had put on weight as a result. The added weight started hurting my feet, and I forced myself to tend to my weight. The fasciitis eventually subsided.
But now that I'm carry 10kg of child around with me during mornings, evenings and all weekend, the fasciitis is back and worse than ever. It's about the last thing I expected.
I don't know what can be done about any of it, I suppose it's just a matter of coping. Like any other inconvenience.
