A year in Nagasaki

A desription of my final preparations during august and the fun time in Amsterdam during that time up to my year at the university of Nagasaki from the 1st october 2005 thru august 2006. Together with 9 other students from the University of Leiden, Holland, we are on an extra-curricular year to improve our conversational skills. Will it work ??

Chillida

.
Yesterday was good day with lotsa sunshine and the temperatures are going up ........

Went with Alex to the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum for Modern Art 長崎県美術館 created by architect Kengo Kuma to see an exhibition by the Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida, who makes enormous robust sculptures from terra cotta, alabaster but most importantly from forged iron. The ones here are mere models and studies for the big ones dotted around the globe.

Had coffee afterwards outside in the sun with Jenny and Diana, who we ran into coincidentally .

The Japanese are by no means very tall people, especially down here in Kyushu but Christoph and I were quite shocked to find some motorbikes that must belong to some very small Japanese indeed.....
