Spring is almost here. It’ll technically be here tomorrow. Although it’s been chilly for the past few days, last week, we already had a couple of warm days (with temperatures slightly above 20°C).
Honestly, I can’t wait to spend some time outdoors a little bit.
We did last weekend. The whole family visited Shikoku Mura. It’s almost a family tradition. We never plan it this way, but every year, on the first nice weekend, we tend to go there.
Of course, I took a few pictures and you can go see them on Setouchi Explorer (the link is above).
That is all about Japan today.
In other news
(aka blog activity)
The video game Journey celebrated its 10th birthday last weekend. It is one of my favorite games and I want to introduce it to people who don’t know it, especially to people who don’t play video games. So I wrote an introduction to Journey in the Swamp. Really, read it and hopefully, it will make you want to try playing it. It really is a game for non-gamers.
Still in the Swamp, I also wrote a small article about the time I got to see some of the treasures contained in the iron closet! As it’s very likely that you don’t know what it is, it is an… iron closet… located in the heart of the National Archives in Paris. And it contains some of the most precious artifacts of French history (especially from the French Revolution and on). And I got to see some of them a little while ago. A thing not many people can say they saw with their own eyes.
I also have two pictures of Paris to show you:
Finally, an old postcard from my collection. It’s not as old as the other ones, it only dates from 1948, but I guess it is interesting nonetheless.
I guess that’s all for today.
