Day 7
A day at Waseda U. After a quick morning laundry and breakfast, we leave for Waseda. The offices are very big, and there is easily room for 4 in Noe’s office: there is the “office” section but also a big table where 6 people can easily sit and work. This one is probably intended for…

Day 6 Jour 6 Dia 6
Just a stroll in Shinjuku to buy some notebooks for the kids to practice their Kanjis and write their journals. We did stumble upon a shrine on the way.

First day
After our touchdown on Wednesday around 7:30am, it was time to navigate Narita airport. First thing we noticed: lots of people to orient passengers, check they have the mySOS app, that the screen on said app is Blue (or, if a different color, to send them to the appropriate line), checking the QR code, thus…

The trip
Monday 13th of June 2022. After tidying up as much as possible the house, spending the weekend getting the garden prepared, prepping the friendly people who will take care of the hen coop, making sure people will be on hand to insure hens have enough water (France is going to have a warm spell, and…
