One of the many reasons I love living in London. I get to see amazing people more often as they come through! From the US, from Hong Kong - keep coming back, friends!

I’ve so enjoyed being back in Japan since mid-April, but alas, my time is coming to an end and I return to London on Saturday. I’m always grateful that I can spend time here. Huge thanks to Waseda University’s Institute for Advanced Studies who hosted me!

For those who missed it, Heathrow was closed yesterday and all flights cancelled due to a fire and power outage. I couldn’t get the direct flight today so I’m on my way to Houston to connect, but at least I’ll get there eventually. I’m so sorry for all my colleagues who had to cancel.
