Before I can settle down in the city of Hanamaki, I needed to have another orientation in the capital of Iwate: Morioka. It was a really awesome city and it is the largest city in Iwate. Also, Keterol made an amazing piece of music for this episode called "nightlife swan" which I think may be one of his best tracks yet. Join me next week for the first taste of my new home: Hanamaki City! So much has been happening lately, but slowly I will be able to address all of the exciting new developments in my life including what I do for my work here and what I've been up to in the downtime since Tokyo Swan. Until then, thanks for watching as always, and see you next time! Music in this episode: Iwate Swan Theme: Keterol Nightlife Swan: Keterol
