Summer is here

Our summer vacation officially starts tomorrow. I have a ton of videos to edit and post so keep a look out for those. In the meantime I'm trying out this new panoramic software for the iPhone called "auto stitch." it seems to be a lot easier to use than the previous application I've been using, panolab pro, but it also seems to lack the manual controls that panolab has. I think I'll stick with it though. Here's a sample.

Better than IBM

There is some sort of school for technology, maybe a design school- I'm not sure, in this spiral tower next to Nagoya station. One of my students told me it's called HAL (as you can see in the photo) because they wanted to be "better" than IBM. So they named it HAL, H comes before I in the alphabet, A before B and L before M. Therefore HAL > IBM? I think it's pretty funny.

Nanzan for lunch

Ramen at nanzan. I'm still trying to figure this ramen shop's strange operating hours. Good ramen though.

Kamejima station

Kamejima station on the higashiyama line. It's not as close as hisaya odori was to our old apt., but at least it takes us directly to sakae without transfering.
