This will be the last in my short series on posts that got big responses in 2014. The image is of a post about an article that featured a particularly caustic quote from Lafcadio Hearn: Kumamoto is “a prison in the bottom of hell.” As one person commented “summers without air conditioning will do that to a person.”

Another post that got a big response was the announcement of jobs at Kumamoto University:

There are more posts that I might write about but I think I’ll stop here.

In 2015, I hope to do a better job of integrating this page with Kumamoto-i (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/kumamoto-i/conversations/messages). A good deal of information has been exchanged there (especially buy-and-sell). If you are unfamiliar with it, please take a look.

I hope you all have a happy new year!
