Auf Wiedersehen Hamburg

Tomorrow I leave Hamburg for Mikame-cho, a small town on Shikoku, Japan's fourth-largest and most rural main-island. I'm taking a much-needed, three-month break from the Miami Ad School to recharge, work on design and advertising projects, and spend time with my girlfriend, Hania. She's teaching English at local schools as part of the JET program, and will be living in Mikame for a year. I think this is a good chance to see a part of the country that I'd otherwise probably never visit.
