The character for "mata" is different, though, so no worries. Here's a link to a map: http://goo.gl/maps/56KQC 2012-12-24 10:08 JSTEarlier this morning big flakes of snow were falling in Kumamoto. Just before that the skies were clear blue and about 10 minutes or so after I took this shot there was not a trace of snow. If you blinked you missed it. 2012-12-04 19:09 JSTAttention music lovers!
