This is relevant to my interests

This morning I went to Dejima, the former Portuguese and then Dutch trading post that operated during the period of national seclusion. I thought it would only take an hour to see, but I could have spent most of a day there. The reconstructed buildings are wonderful, and there are loads of exhibits and information.

Some drama about Sakamoto Ryoma is on at the moment, and he's everywhere. There's even a Doumo-kun dressed up as him. And most tenuous of all, curry.
