Hi there, it’s me…
… and given the emails I’ve been getting you’re missing me. Thanks!
I’m fine, mostly, just very busy at the moment: I had a number of guided tours in April (exhausting), I’m trying to get my own tours off the ground (fun!), my visa renewal is coming up (yay), I bid for a large writing project (didn’t get it, sadly), I’m working on articles for Yamato twice a week (subscribe!), I’m studying Japanese (JLPT N3) and I go to BATI-HOLIC concerts whenever I can (sorry, no: whenever they play in Kyoto).

It’s quite tiring. I’ll try to be back somewhat more regularly next month, some things should have calmed down by then.
Thanks for worrying about me, I appreciate it.
