The main purpose was to set up a better support system for my mother who got sick a few months ago. She has recovered. But it was about time to review and improve entire support system.
Another purpose was my science business. I gave a talk at a University where a colleague's group is working.
And the other purpose was my vacation. I took my mother to hot springs and nice restaurants. Have you tried Suppon (Soft shell turtle)? It's a delicacy.
[Fresh seafood dinner at the seaside hot springs. Can you see live abalone?]
I even went to a milonga in a neighboring city Nagoya, organized by Yuko Ono. I'd never attended a milonga in Japan before. They had a decent milonga there.
Life throws events. Some events we tend to call bad, and other events we tend to call good. But a great deal of the good-bad evaluation is subjective. My mother's sickness may sound bad. But thanks to that I decided to make the trip. The trip was good, and I had a great time with my family in Japan. Such time is precious, and I am very happy to have had the trip.
[Famous "Turtle blood" mixed with Sake.]

[Did I have a good time? Sure, I did.]
