Up early-ish and out the door for a 7 km run. Ran a lot quicker today than previous days. Made my way through Utsubo Park, very nice peonies I think they were.

Osaka Castle for the afternoon. What’s next?

Starbucks vanilla donut?? How was it? Not worth it!

Bought some summer clothes from Uniqlo! UV protection gear. Nice and breathable!

And I think I figured out a simple way to do Chinese subtitles in FCP: just export the default captions! Should speed up production a little bit.
