Fake Autumn 2025

Dear guests,

I write this from Fake Autumn 2025. Temperatures are down but let’s not rejoice too quick. Summer will kick our arses one last time at least between now and mid-October, as is tradition now.

Enough with the weather update. Life has been good. We spent the month of August in Marseille. I can’t tell if my kids enjoyed it or not.

My son decided that he will attend our local Japanese elementary school after 2 years at the French International School. His Japanese is quite rusty and he has a lot to catch up… But, it’s been 3 weeks already and he’s having fun. He leaves for school and comes back on his own (or with the neighbours). It’s been quite interesting for him to point out all the little cultural differences.

The students are the ones responsible for serving the meals at lunch. They also make teams to clean different parts of the school every day. His class went and visited the behind-the-scenes of our local supermarket.

I’m not too sure exactly whether and how I should document his “exchange program” year. More on that later maybe.
