Fiona here, passing on a message from former long-term Kumamoto resident Greg Rammit about an apartment for rent that's available in Mashiki.
Hi, Joe Tomei here. We've gotten a stray cat, it's a female and, unfortunately, we can't keep it. It's about 1.5-2 months old, a very sweet calico. If anyone is looking for a cat, please contact us. It seems to have been abandoned by her mother, we took it to the vet and got the medicine for mites and parasites administered. If anyone is willing to take her, we'd also get the cat vaccinated and if it is a first cat for you, we can give you help and details.

(Fiona) China Eastern started flights connecting Kumamoto Airport with Shanghai today. This should give long-distance travellers a few more flight options, and make Kumamoto a little easier to reach for overseas visitors. Initially there will be three flights a week, decreasing to twice weekly from August 20th.

Kumamoto has its fair share of published authors among the international community. Tales of Old Zen was released just a few weeks ago and is written by long-term resident Alan Rosen who arrived here in the early 1970s. It's available in paperback and digital formats and looks like an interesting read for anyone who has ever spent time in Kumamoto. (Fiona)
