Our cabin was pretty sweet. 2 beds and a bunk bed for the kids. The ship has an onsen bu we stayed in our room the whole time. We have a nice bath with a window for looking outside, but since it was dark the whole time I couldn’t use it (the window that is).

Passing under the longest suspension bridge in the world

Normally it is lit up white but at 8PM, just as the ferry ⛴ approached, the lights started to change colour! 🌈

Safe travels. I hope we can catch up in Kyoto in the summer or fall. But I also hope you find the perfect job and if that means we can’t meet up in real life, so be it. 🙏

Currently packing up and getting ready to leave Kyoto and make our way back to the island. What a privilege to be able to walk down to the cafe in the sun amongst the hustle and bustle and get a decent pour over! ☕️

Thank you very kindly for the offer! But I have a stack of books that I am obligated to read and I don’t think I could make it to that one before I leave Japan. Please pass it on to a comrade in need!

#NowReading2021 “Pastoral” by André Alexis, because it has been a while since I read fiction and the last time I was in Kyoto I read his “Fifteen Dogs” which I loved. (No drink, since I am in bed) 🛌

Interesting about the mental clarity. Before I took this mini-retirement my job had me putting out fire after fire and I had no time for clarity. Now that I am working at my own pace and thinking “deep thoughts” I came to realize that clarity is the skill I am most missing.

Thanks for that. I have been certainly getting more pregnant in my forties. I stopped eating meat about 5 years ago, but since I moved to a rural location and now have a car and work from home, I don’t get my daily walk/bike commute. This seems very doable.

Replying to @shochu_danji
My wife thinks I should dedicate a chapter to Iki for my book on “Kyushu Firsts” since that is where shochu comes from and it DEFINITELY has had an effect on Japanese history+culture. But since you already wrote the book on it, maybe a reference? Or an ad? 😁

My father in law just said “I saw it on the internet and apparently IT guys like it so I got it for you” 🤷♂️ I barely even drink… it is a MAGNUM of sake. Did I do something good without knowing it?

I know nothing about sake… but this stuff is smoooooth which makes it dangerous!

This is my first one, and of course since it is scheduled during spring break while my kids are home, I can’t really interact at all. But I am happy to be able to access the talks after the fact. Also, it is a lot cheaper for non-affiliated people! Pluses and minuses…
