Sitting in the room looking out over the port and enjoying a morning coffee. #ikijima
Today we will be shopping for a fridge, washing machine, etc in prep for the move this weekend. I can LITERALLY see my house from here.

Just signed the contract in the house! We have basically been homeless since late Feb, so this is a huge relief. In celebration, here is a pic of the kids playing beside the cliffs from yesterday. 🎏 #ikijima

Elementary school classes of all grades are back at it today here on Ikijima. All the kids and staff are wearing masks, but they are having fun!

Yesterday we toured around the island. I have so many pics to share! But today and tomorrow we are setting up our new house to move into next week. In the meantime, enjoy one of #ikijima’s white sand beaches!

Re-upping a higher res vid from my phone earlier today as we rode a nearly empty bullet train between Kyoto and Hiroshima. We took a boat afterwards, and are now ensconced in our nice guesthouse on Iki (see the treehouse in my last tweet) https://flic.kr/p/2iXSd3Z

We are staying in a guesthouse on Iki before moving into the new house next week. This place is great! I will upload more pics once the weather is better, but here is a quick tour of the treehouse (!)

Just love this massive aquarium in the waiting room of the ferry terminal. They have mantas, sharks, and a giant sea turtle and a ton of fish that I can only identify as characters from Finding Nemo.

Hakata Station is pretty empty… and has definitely unified its messaging with every ad pillar reminding people it is lockdown until tomorrow.

#todayswalk We drove… DROVE!… up Nene-no-michi! This is the road to Kiyomizudera and is usually wall-to-wall with walking tourists. I have never seen it like this… and during Golden Week!

#todayswalk (from 2 days ago since my internet is spotty). This wide-angle vid was taken with my new iPad. First time for iPad photography! The giant tree you see in the middle of the temple is actually a Sakura 🌸. It looks amazing in bloom… https://www.flickr.com/gp/sandbaggerone/913aA3

#todayswalk: through the farmland of Oharano (we ran into a bunch of magical creatures) then up to Shōbō-ji, a 1200 year old Shingon Temple (though the pagoda is only about 100 yrs).

Really good episode. I have participated in hearings before and it is interesting to hear about how represented the blind community was in the 1950s, which accounts for some of the amazing infra you see here. But so many other communities ignored! https://twitter.com/JapanOTR/status/1252975624668528641

Messing around with the Google Mobility data csv, charting out some of my personal prefectures of interest. Here is #kyoto and #fukuoka for the month of Apr, up to the 17th. I will update again once Google releases a new batch of data.

Yeah for me it probably was the release of the NES… Or probably the release of E.T. which I saw at a drive-in when I was 4 and scarred me for life!

Finally set up my account today. They didn’t need a hanko… at least for a regular account. Maybe you need one for a biz account? I have only ever had personal accounts across a number of different institutions. Anyways, NO HANKO LIFE continues! ✊

🤔 so right now, if a kid loses a tooth, the Tooth Fairy 🧚♀️ visits and the tooth finds it’s way into the sanitary system 🗑. In the future, in order to secure one’s DNA, how will we dispose safely of children’s teeth?
