Staff complimented me on my pronunciation of Wang Lao Ji (あたりまえ！But I do love being praised)

Last week I visited the Jewish Museum in Vienna, and it's clear that there's a divide between the Jews and the Viennese government.
Their impressive display of back-to-back figures, boards blocking the view, some signs rejecting stereotypes.

This week was spent visiting sites and museums in Budapest that dealt with that period of Jewish history, those moments that are remembered.

The nature here is amazing. People are all dressed kind of the same. No matter where I walk, there’s music in the air.

There is a self- select vinyl albums bar in Shibuya. The chips taste good. I chose Anri's song. A great song for a summer evening.

Im gonna say it again: music is VITAL to games. Music guides players. Music enhances emotional moments. Music is so so so important. Funny enough video games are modern operas in the way music is needed to buoy the emotional stakes.
