My hometown area is a place where I regress, typically. It’s located in middle-of-nowhere rural Burgundy. I like going there to check on my roots or get a bowl of the local air and smells at various seasons, to connect to nature in a visceral way. But if I stay any length of time or project myself living there again, I regress mentally to a person I’ve long outgrown. So I don’t think I’d be able to live there again, or perhaps at the end of my life when I shrink back to a more elemental being. My happy place is the polar opposite: Tokyo, Japan.

Tokyo has an undeniable magic.
