I was on Ogijima today, but the weather was pretty bad, so no pictures were taken (I still had a great time catching up with friends). So instead here is a few pictures I took last month. It’s going to be one more occasion to enjoy the cherry blossoms. […]

You know what happens when you write two blogs in two different languages, with roughly (but not always) the same content? Sometimes, you “forget” some posts, sometimes you imagine that they exist when they don’t. And this is what happened to me a couple of days ago. Looking for a […]
When you’re on Ogijima and look up, you sometimes see this: In case you’re wondering, it’s Jaume Plensa’s Ogijima’s Soul.
Jaume Plensa’s Ogijima’s Soul – its beauty never ceases to amaze me. Quick update on a few things: I know, I didn’t post much lately… Well, the World Cup was partly to blame. It’s over now (Congratulations Germany!!! I had waited for that moment for quite a […]
