If you fear change, don't give it to me. I have enough things changing in my life recently.
First, the weather is changing. This is a good thing since I won't have to stay hidden in my apartment any longer.
Second, I've been using film more and more lately. When my black and white chemicals ran out about a year ago, I took a break. Now were back!

I have a new job starting in August!  That's a change I'm looking forward to. I was starting to worry about what to do after this contract is finished, but no more worries. I will be working in Takamatsu doing translation, interpretation, and more teaching. I'm looking forward to the added responsibilities and improvement in my Japanese skills.

The last change I'll mention is sad news. Ako from my favorite cafe has found a new job and will no longer be working there. She's was one of the first people I met when I first moved to Japan, when I spoke next to no Japanese. I'm sure we'll still be able to hang out, but not in the familiar environment I'm used to.

A few shot from the goodbye party are here.
