About this blog

Spend six months in Japan.

Wow.

In Kyoto, furthermore.

Wow, wow.

This can be the occasion for many things…

For research, for potting, for travelling, for learning a new language, for thinking, for building new friendships,

For blogging…

I am not sure what is involved with blogging. I have participated to other blogs and have written posts. But I have the feeling that blogging is different from writing blog posts. So spending a few months in Kyoto is a chance to see if that is true.

A number of preliminary choices have been made, and I hope to stick to them:

• I am relying heavily on Lindsey for illustrations
• I am hoping to write in English, French and Spanish. For a while, this seemed like a snobbish choice. Then, I discovered that all wordpress extensions supposed that being multilingual meant that you were mono-idea… The idea being that if you talk about blah in language « A », you should then only translate blah into languages « B » and « C ». But multilingualism isn’t about translating, is it? It’s about wanting to talk about some things in one language, and others in another. So sorry to say that it will be done that way here. Posts won’t be translated.
• The promise is to write one post in English each week.

Let’s see if we can do it.
