Mind you, Tanegashima is a REALLY cool place. Interesting history and space center! Plus the weather is great (except for right now).

Funny, Tanegashima was actually the first island we considered for 離島留学 but it was pretty far to make my research trips to Fukuoka and Nagasaki. We ended up on Iki. Rent here is cheap & the internet is fast, and it is only an hour on the jetfoil to Fukuoka! Perfect for remote

Is that Marishisontendo down around Kenninji?
Marishiten is a very interesting deva. She is the patron of many samurai households.

Standard conservative liberalism fare, but the opening scenario is very thought-provoking and worth reading! https://twitter.com/reviewcanada/status/1275459673022328840

Me: “Centrifugal force.” 💡

Wasn’t a very nice day but we were close so we checked out Satohama Beach.
DOUBLE SANDBAR! OMG… It’s a DOUBLE SANDBAR all the way!! 🌈🌈
Left my sandals & went. INTENSE. Korea is just over there. Tide was out so it only came up to my knees. Definitely going back on a 🌞 day!

I come from the Rockies. I was 11 when I first saw the sea. As a young ‘un I was raised on Alberta Beef, herded across prairies. Don’t think I will ever get used to seeing cattle on cliffs, overlooking blue ocean waves crashing on ancient lava flows. #Islandlife

As a Canadian I was already fearful of visiting China. I was going to try and make it to HK next year… don’t think that is going to happen now…

I went from 78kgs to 92kgs while doing my masters thesis… I stopped there and never went on to a dissertation. They always said doing a PhD could kill you and I believe them!

Stopped by the original Tsukiyomi-jinja, shrine to the kami of night. This shrine was founded originally on Iki and has a satellite shrine in Matsunotaisha in Kyoto.

@avc Adding my vote of confidence for @Fastmail to some of the others in this discussion. Switched to them 5 years ago after trying a number of Gmail alts in the wake of Snowden. Good policies, cutting edge tech, excellent service. 👍

Ordered just in time for daughter’s birthday! Her mother has read her all the Japanese ones, but it will be great for her to read it herself in the English. (Also, me too! Huge fan!)

I left in 2010 and came back to Kyoto every year or two for a week or three at a time… and I too did not maintain my Japanese as much as I should have. It’s different from Adam, Chris, or Joe. I totally hear you on catching up…

I have many thoughts, but I will hold onto them until asked. I wonder how @Adamukun feels now that he’s been back in the US for a while? Probably too early to have any plans on returning to Japan…

Not to mention all the new media that have overtaken blogs: so many YouTubers! I don’t have the face for that… Anyways, it feels like when you graduate highschool in your small town and go to the big city university… so many more possibilities! I am humbled…

@Mutantfroginc I am looking forward to your impressions once you move back here. I have been thinking about the changes a lot since I got back. It has been 10 years away for me… The online environment is so different. Back in the day, it felt very small, but it has exploded!

As do I! I came late… it was recommended to me by my war studies professor when I was in grad school in about 2008 and I was an immediate convert. My original twitter handle was

These are old friends both in real life and in blogging terms. English-language Japan blogging back in the early-mid-2000s was a tight community! Give them a follow! https://twitter.com/Mutantfroginc/status/1276292664804159491

I watched Akira 17 times in gr 11 and 12, so obviously not that dedicated. I will watch Lawrence of Arabia every couple of years, but there is too much good stuff out there to spend time on rewatches! Life too short bro!

Yeah this is a rarity. It seems like 90% of the time they are playing Minecraft, and then Animal Crossing. But her older sister is reading a book, so she gets rare time alone to play Zelda. 😄
