Four-day holiday, eating and drinking in Qingdao

I love photographing figures the most. This year's entrance guidance seems to have improved significantly, with much less queuing

Returning to Yamanashi after nearly two years, the weather was so hot that even Mount Fuji had no snow cap

A weekend trip to Ehime Prefecture, the 'Citrus Kingdom,' enjoying various types of orange juice and the famous Dogo Onsen

A trip around Hokkaido during the Golden Week holidays, which also served as a pilgrimage to locations from last year's Detective Conan movie

Surprisingly less of a hermit this year

I hate waiting in line...

Hydrangeas After Rain

Went with the flow, not bad at all.
A trip with colleagues from the Russian research institute

Haha. Time flies — another year of doing nothing in particular just slipped right by.

Another year that went pretty smoothly, minus the friends and girlfriend situation. (Same as last year, right?)
