    Highlights from a perfect day at Moominvalley Park. We rode a very special train, saw fun attractions, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. There are two Moomin parks in the whole world, and now we’ve been to both of them. β€οΈβ˜€οΈπŸš†πŸŒ³ #moomin @moominofficial

    Thank you to the AWS Community in Japan for inviting me to speak at the Community Leaders meetup today! (And to my wonderful translator Shoki Hayasaki, who helped me to communicate.) You are all incredibly inspiring to me! πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅β€οΈπŸ™Œ


    Finally the tourist part begins! Tonight we headed to Shinjuku for a ramen 🍜 (β€œIs that bowl lined with meat?! OH HELLS YEAH.”) before heading out to Musashi-Koyama for a traditional onsen experience, getting naked and sitting in hot mineral spring baths. πŸ› 😳
