Impression about Florence this time: somehow the mobile signal was extremely bad in the city center, lots of times shows "Edge" in museums. Also most of the restaurants don't provide tap water at all, which is a pity...

San Gimignano

Went to Museo Stibbert again. It's my favorite arms and armor museum. Took lots of reference photos.

Wall arts on the street of Florence, vs the real things in the Uffizi

In Florence again, and went to see Verrocchio's David again. It's beautiful, and from the resemblance I believe the saying that it's modeled on young Da Vinci. Last drawing: by Da Vinci's pupil Francesco Melzi, shown in the previous Da Vinci exhibition in the Louvre.

Went to France Miniature, it's super cute

In case any one wants to buy Shaoxing rice wine, go with the Chinese geographical indication label... most ones without the label are fake, and in some Asian supermarkets in Europe I can't even find any authentic ones

Went to the Paris book festival, it's interesting to see which books are popular in France at the moment.

Bought these in a patisserie in Paris but found out they are pet toys😂 www.playpetbrands.com/products/bar...

My HEMA gear 剣術をやるのが大変楽しいよ

Went to the Hans Zimmer live in Paris, so cooool!

Project Hail Mary is great!!! youtu.be/P0XN3-n-2Lo?...

Got my sparring sword (the blunt one)!

Made a Tang-dynasty round neck robe, it was suuuuper haaard... The references are from Shosoin and National museum of China. 唐の圓領袍（翻領袍）を作った。超絶難しかった...（そしてフランスの絹は高い） 参考は正倉院の大歌緑綾袍と中国国家博物館のモデル

Went to Opéra Bastille to see the opera Carmen. Very minimalist but radical production (lots of 18+ stuff), but the singing and orchestra were great

My second sword! (and size comparison to my first sword)

About rendering curly hair

Finally got my HEMA jacket and pants

Suddenly realized how the pommel is supposed to help keep edge alignment! The dent of the pommel fits the wrist perfectly, when cutting in this position, the edge is well aligned. Also the real sword helps a lot: when cut edge-aligned, it makes a "whoosh" sound. Bad cutting gives no sound at all.

Got my first sword!

Went to Opera Garnier to see Giselle.

Went to Musée de cluny to see the lady and unicorn again. Still beautiful as always.

Started learning historical european martial arts (HEMA). So fun😂 Being at Paris is great (multiple clubs)

Came back from Sail Amsterdam. So many people today...

Some other tallships at Sail Amsterdam

At Sail Amsterdam again after 10 years, and stayed on a tallship
