Went out and recorded about 5 short-form videos today.

Getting interviewed tomorrow on a five-hour video shoot as part of a promotional video for the Sendai Startup Visa program.

Sunday might just be for relaxing lol.

Caught the midday chime on camera! This is from Shiogama City in Miyagi Prefecture.

Originally, these were played to alert field workers that it was lunchtime, but they also serve an important function in today's society: a daily test of the emergency alert system!

Having a predominantly North American livestream audience means you will sometimes eat curry udon for breakfast.

...I'm VERY okay with this lol

My first hot meal in Japan was eaten at 4am at an udon shop in a Tochigi service station. Noodles were cooked in about 40 seconds and total was about $5 USD. I really appreciated the rack of assorted tempura options you could add! (the kakiage spoke to me the loudest) #japan #料理

In the months and weeks leading up to the move, I've just been on auto pilot getting through all the preo work and the move hasn't really felt real.

Today it finally sank in, seeing my husband and dog walking down a Japanese street in a small Japanese town. We really did move to Japan. 🌸💞

Inside the building is a massive souvenir/ omiyage shop, a little bakery, big clean bathrooms and a sizeable food court
