The weather forecasts were announcing the snow in Kagoshima (and other parts of Kyushu) from yesterday night and it’s here. In fact it appears to have no intention of stopping. Forecasts assure, Kagoshima prefecture could reach 10-15 cm of snow and I cna see that coming too.

It’s strange because although Japan has lots of snow, all of it snows mostly on the side of Japan facing Asia (the continent). Reports say that the wave of low temperature have been so cold this time the it has reached these areas too.

PS/ I’d have loved to take a picture of Sakurajima this morning, but visibility is 0 right now…

Some pics from my way for home to the lab here

That’s the happy part of it, the sad part is that I spend christmas day’s afternoon correcting documents and stuff for my phD (within months) senpai Anderson. The picture shows one of the things a had to prepare without him even knowing about it. I also did one more “pleasant” (“unpleasant” too at some points) thing that day but I’m waiting for the pictures from my other senpai Yoshizaki.

Just a bottle of cava to skype-toast with my family in Spain. But suddenly, some kind of christmas-rush attacked me and I ended up looking for some roasted animal (preferably chicken) for dinner. My answer was “DAIEI” a slightly-pricey store near my house.

We accompanied the dinner with a delicious wine of Ribera del Duero by Josemari

Lately, temperature is back to normal.

But today I went to Inamori Academy I was happy to discover that Santa is among as.

The book is “Computer Science handbook” by Allen B. Tucker, and consists of a compilation of articles covering what is computer science nowadays. Is it possible to read a 2500 pages book in 3 weeks? I guess not… But I’m gonna try it.

The fact is that the book costs about 20000 yen, and even getting it on eBay was difficult, so I asked the libray in my university to find it in another university’s library. The problem is that it’s just for a limited period and I have to give it back by January 5th…

We sold a huge amount of Kimchi, and also we had some time to go around the “festival” and enjoy the events around: tutored pottery, amateur music, … I even got to make a bottle, or whatever ~~
