Settling into Life in Tokushima
Although these past few weeks have been quite hectic, I feel like I’ve been settling nicely back into life in Tokushima. I’ve been making a countless number of trips to the furniture shops around Tokushima and trying to get things together for the August 22nd show that will film in less than a week. That being said, I’m really happy to be back and am quite enjoying my time here.
I took a trip to the Awa-Odori festival again this year and shot a short video. Take a look and let me know what you think!

Making the blog updates infinitely easier than before is the newly installed Internet connection that was hooked up last weekend.

I took my second trip back to Tokushima since the new year. As I used to frequent the onsen attached to the hotel, I decided to stay at the Sunroute Hotel these past two times. It’s a great place to stay and it’s around the same price as other comparable business hotels. Even though I [...]

Wish me luck!
