Nukadoko
My own nukadoko (rice bran bed for fermenting vegetables)! I cheated a little and bought a package that was already cultured and ready to go. My science project is going well so far – Japan

Earthquake
M5.9 earthquake hit the Tokyo region last night. It was way too close and scary, about “5 low” on the JMA intensity scale where I am (that’s very strong!). We are on the alert for another possible big one for the next few days… – Japan

Kinmokusei
Kinmokusei (Sweet Osmanthus in English?) in full bloom. They smell so sweet! I can’t describe the smell, but Gardenias always remind me of Kinmokusei – Japan

Ferris wheel
112.5m/369ft. My cousin took me (dragged me?) to ride it after lunch yesterday. This was the Ferris wheel I was staring at from my quarantine window 3 weeks ago – Japan

Lunch with a view
My cousin took me out to lunch today. The restaurant was very close to where I was quarantined for the first 3 nights. Infinitely better than just looking through the window! – Japan

Blue Sky
Blue sky today after Typhoon No. 16 has passed (yesterday was crazy!). On an unrelated note, the red scooter is a McDonald’s delivery scooter – Japan
