For the last few months I’ve been in Australia, just south of a famous spot called the G0ld Coast. Lots of Japanese people are drawn to the Gold Coast as it has lovely long white sandy beaches, a great sub tropical climate, internationally acclaimed restaurants, and shopping and a nice mixed community of people from everywhere.

My partner, Michael and I have temporarily relocated here from Hawaii with Jaya and Bali,  for the short term future. We are working reestablishing Massage Masters School see http://www.mmsschool.com. Australia is in the summer right now, so with Christmas approaching we will have a summer time Christmas. This will be a first for Michael, being from California, and living in Hawaii. Everyone here is busy preparing for Christmas, people are throwing parties, and beginning their holidays this week, and busily shopping for the big day.

Merry Christmas!
