Archive of my posts from my time in Japan
Since I’ve been blogging a little about job hunting in Japan recently, I thought I should make a guide on job hunting in Japan. By the way, because I’m writing this in the start of April, and that means that I’ve only just started the process. Most of the information comes from what I’ve heard,… Read More A Primer on Job Hunting (就職活動) in Japan
Hello! I just came back from Kumamoto yesterday! I had a job hunting event there, and since it started at 10am, I decided that instead of rushing, I would go one day early and spend the night. The sakura absolutely did not influence my decision to go early, but I decided that since I was… Read More Sakura 2016: Kumamoto Castle
Image from Fujitv.co.jp/mitarai Um… hi 😀 I know I said FAQ or Shukatsu post next (sorry, Whitney!), but I remembered that I watched this a few days ago and I wanted to talk about it. BECAUSE IT IS REALLY GOOD. Ahem, I’m calm again. I basically decided to watch this two hour plus drama special… Read More Drama Review: Tensai Tantei Mitarai (天才探偵ミタライ)
Hey everyone! I haven’t had anything exciting happen recently, but I thought I’d just give you a general update, to sort of prove I’m alive. It’s technically my holidays now, and I did plan to go to Kokura for a one day trip, but due to financial constraints and time constraints, I haven’t had the… Read More General Updates (aka Shukatsu Updates)
Screenshot from 66 News I saw this blogpost making the rounds on Facebook, and I felt like talking about it, so here’s a different blogpost from the usual. The Summary: You can find the actual post here, but if you want a summary, here’s what I understand it’s saying: Problems faced by people studying abroad… Read More Thoughts on “The Dark Side of Studying Abroad”
I had a few free days last week, and I decided to use one of them to go see the plum blossoms at Dazaifu. After all, until all this shukatsu stuff is finished, I don’t know if I’ll get another chance to see them. Plus, it occurred to me that the last time I was… Read More Plum Blossoms at Dazaifu
Yesterday, I met up with Yiyin, after a really really long time. I’m not even sure if we met last year, despite the frequency we met during our first year. Anyway, since we were at Tenjin, we decided to have dinner there. Due to our complete inability to decide, we walked around and ended up… Read More Cinnamoroll Popup Cafe
Last December, when my mom and bro was here, we chanced upon an icing cookie trial lesson thing in North Tenjin and iced SANTA BEAR AND CHRISTMAS TREE COOKIES. It was pretty fun, and since they have a classroom near my place (near = about 20 minutes walk), I decided to go for a lesson… Read More First Icing Cookie Lesson!!
Today, I went back to Ito campus after a long, long time. There was a shukatsu seminar for foreign students, and a job fair for foreign students held today, and it’s a chance I couldn’t pass up. The seminar was actually really useful, so I figured that I’d report what I learnt, for everyone else… Read More Shukatsu Seminar and Fair
I just realised that I received the last of my results for the semester, and I thought it was high time that I looked back on this school year and thought about how it went. After a very relaxing second year, where I probably didn’t take as many classes as I should, the first semester… Read More Year 3 Roundup
