  We were on May 25th, 2009 and it was our last full day in Takamatsu, except that we didn’t spend it in Takamatsu, as we took the ferry in the morning to Shōdoshima (小豆島). There are a lot of interesting things on Shōdoshima, however, as it’s a much larger island

  Here is a piece that contemporary art snobs won’t like at all. I’m thinking the kind one can often run into in certain streets of Paris for instance (3rd and 6th arrondissements for those who know the city). I assume it’ll be pretty much the same with their New-Yorker or “Miami-an” counterparts.

We spent October 20 on “Small Bean Island“, in other words, Shōdoshima. I had already visited the place about one and a half year ago and despite the fact that I had been relatively disappointed (but it mostly came from the fact that we ended up on a guided tour
