I’m living in Sasebo City in Nagasaki Prefecture now. I’m still busy with work, but I am having fun with all the nomikai. I’ve been very tired these past two weeks especially. I made a video for my friend’s wedding reception. I only slept about 2 hours that whole week so that the video could be done. But it was worth it. The wedding reception was one month after the wedding ceremony. For the wedding ceremony, I wore kimono, like samurai. My friend thinks of me as one of his brothers so he arranged for me to wear the kimono and I sat with his family at the Shinto shrine. I was very tired at that time too because the day before we drove 5 hours up to Hiroshima and then 5 hours back the same day.

This year, the cherry blossoms have come early. They are in full bloom. Our hanami party though is next week. Hopefully, the flowers will stay as it’s quite cold still. It is very beautiful. I will try to take some pictures.
