Sign at the airport about the conference, already felt like a big shot.
this was our room... yes, just that lots of space.
First day banquet met lots of great people.

various views from the top of kumamoto castle

souvenir shop... spot the kumamon.
one day I went adventuring to the kumamoto university brass band.
I commend their stairwell decoration.
They were very nice, even gave me a clarinet to play with them... lots of girls too, which is always nice.
mt aso, which is an active volcano... it had some fumes going out so no dice walking to the crater.
Japanese course and the menu.
It was a good adventure I would say I received an award during the banquet as best student, met a professional clarinetist. Met people that studied with me in Japan before so to put it all together it was great. When I got back to the band everyone kept telling me how happy they were I was back, how someone seems depressed if I am not around(regular readers should know who if not ask me directly!) Anyhow it became a theme of the week for everyone to remind me my responsibility to that person and if I somehow vanish, she would vanish too. Guess they caught wind of my plans of bailing out... or that topic comes out often nowadays I have heard it from almost everyone by now, guess they caught wind of her leaving and are trying to get me to do something? I need counseling from a pimp named Slickback. I think I have a case of bitch dependency and it ain't even my bitch. For now I will just keep teaching her normally, but honestly first time in my life I keep getting reminded of how "important" I am to someone when I am evidently not. Looking forward to rasmus faber in tokyo too, will try to go see them.
