Iwate Swan 2: Next Stop Morioka

So the orientation for my teaching job has finished in Tokyo, and the next stop was actually going to Iwate! Before I can settle down in the city of Hanamaki, I needed to have another orientation in the capital of Iwate: Morioka. It was a really awesome city and it is the largest city in Iwate. Also, Keterol made an amazing piece of music for this episode called "nightlife swan" which I think may be one of his best tracks yet.

Join me next week for the first taste of my new home: Hanamaki City! So much has been happening lately, but slowly I will be able to address all of the exciting new developments in my life including what I do for my work here and what I've been up to in the downtime since Tokyo Swan. Until then, thanks for watching as always, and see you next time!

Music in this episode:
Iwate Swan Theme: Keterol
Nightlife Swan: Keterol

I'm guessing you might make your way up to Tokyo for Hanami? I'll be in Tokyo around then. I'd love to meet you. My wife and I have watched all of your vids, as well as Tokyo Cooney. I love Japan from the 2 weeks I was in Tokyo, and watching your videos as Tokyo Swan reminded me of the great times the wife and I had there.

cool thanks! yeah it's possible i will visit for hanami down there, it all depends on what my schedule is looking like and when everything gets planned.

Because watching Michael J. Fox will always help you clear your guilty conscience "afterwards"...

"Einstein! C'mere boy!!" ; D
