These are some extremely busy times. At the university, the academic year has just started. At home, my son has just started preschool.

Sunday was Sports Day on Ogijima! If you know a little bit about Japan (and I assume you do if you’re reading this), you may already know a little bit about Sports Day (also known as Undokai). You may already know that it’s an important day for most children […]

Monday was the last day of the Setouchi Triennale 2013. Of course, I went to spend the day on Ogijima. Here are a few pictures and anecdotes from that day. Almost every time I go to Ogijima – especially during the Setouchi Triennale – as soon as […]
After two pretty tiring weeks at work (and the upcoming one may also be along those lines), the best thing to do this past Sunday was to go spend the day to Ogijima. So we hoped on Meon at the first occasion and there we were. I have seen […]
