Privacy is a valuable asset in Japan. To protect smokers from harassment, smoking areas are increasingly surrounded by privacy screens.

On a side note: The street light in the photo can also be interpreted as a stylized cigarette.

This week I'm at the 20th Historical #Sociolinguistics Network (HiSoN) #conference in Bristol. I was first in Bristol 20 years ago for the Language History from Below conference, at which we founded #HiSoN (though not during the Sherry Reception, as is sometimes claimed). My colleagues Nils Langer, Wim Vandenbussche and Stephan Elspaß did all the work. Though my research interests have developed in a different direction, I am very impressed by how the conference has flourished!
