Whilst walking to the train station, on my way to global media forum, couldn’t help but take a few snapshots. It’s really nice to be back in Europe.
Flying out to Bonn, Germany today to attend the Deutsche Welle Global Media Forum. This year’s forum is focusing on the role of the media towards the issues of Climate Change. We will be giving a presentation on the last day. Here is the latest 1 minute trailer of our work.
Its been a quiet last couple of weeks in Tokyo. Since I left facebook, its been wonderful. I’ve been plugging away at some pet projects, entertaining friends and making stuff. I try to update this teacup blog more. I have found more time to do the things i love with my life, like getting outdoors and doing crafty things with my hands.
One night at Tokyo Hands (the undisputed DIY master store of Japan), I was possesed and bought a speedy stitcher sewing awl, some soft leather offcuts and waxed thread. I went home and got to work. Hours of experimentation later, I had a little green wallet, to my liking. A bit wonky in places but handmade … and that’s the important thing. Since then, I have been obsessed, stitching up all sorts of things: handbags, scientific instrument cases, and my favourite the “stomach” bag. Now, at Ma and Pa’s, there is a kangaroo pelt waiting to be made into the ultimate teacup weekender bag. (let me know your design suggestions!)
The thing I like is that its repetitive, meditative, and it gives me time to listen to podcasts. I found this great “Intro to Meteorology” podcast, which blows my mind in quiet moments.
Also, to let you know, I’m moving from Tokyo at the end of August. In September, I will be touching down at University of East Anglia (Norwich, UK) to start studying for a Master of Science in Climate Change. Once there, i will be studying hard about all sort of climate related materials- atmospheric physics, meteorology and hopefully developing knowledge of my pet loves – clouds and paleoclimatology. My hope is to keep going with the media work and try to communicate some of the tougher climate science concepts with strong human and nature commune stories. Who know where it will lead? Any story suggestions?
So guys, I’ll be in UK at Christmas time. Let me know if your in town, so we can go play in the snow and then have a warm pub meal.
A short story, I wrote about my recent snow leopard horse trek in Russian Altai’s remote Argut Valley was published today on the UNU’s Our World 2.0 site. Enjoy and please share with friends!!
“The Altai mountain pony below me stumbles on a wobbly rock. I breathe in sharply as loose shale slides off the cliff’s edge and bounces towards the frozen Argut River below. Aduchy, my indigenous Altaian guide, twists around in his saddle and re-counts his travel companions. He motions for me to lean forward. Over the Siberian wind’s howl, my interpreter Irena loudly translates in her thick Russian accent: “Sit forward to help the climbing horse.” … read more here
