Archive of my posts from my time in Japan
I’m writing this from the 公民館 (community centre) in Saga. I arrived this evening, because for the next 5 days, I’ll be helping out at the Saga International Balloon Fiesta as part of the Net Team!! So you can probably expect almost daily blogposts 😀 And unlike yesterday, I can finally give an update as… Read More Zemi Paper Update
… my essay didn’t want to cooperate. Hey everyone! As you might know, I have a third year essay to finish – and there’s less than a week to go. I thought things were going ok, and was going to give everyone an update, but then we ran into some data problems. I’m going to… Read More I was going to blog today but…
Yesterday, I woke up at 6 am to go to Tsuiki Air Base. Apparently, there was some sort of open-house day thing going on, and my zemi gave me the opportunity to go there for free. Obviously, I opted to go. The first thing I saw on the bus was this sign: I’m guessing this… Read More Visit to Tsuiki Air Base
As you all know, I’m intending to work in Japan. And so, on Thursday, I went for my first 懇談会 (kondankai) for an M&A company in Osaka. My senior sort of nominated me, so I figured it would be good to take a look at how they do things, even if it was inconvenient to… Read More First Company 懇談会 (Kondankai) in Osaka

So as you may know, I went to Kyoto over the weekend! It was super hectic, but fun all the same. It was actually not the best time to go, since my essays and all are due, but hey, I signed up for this last year. So looking at posters in train stations actually help.… Read More Kyoto Trip Day 1
The new semester started on Wednesday (30/9), which means I have one and a half years of student life left. Where did the time go? It feels like it was just last year that I came to Fukuoka, but I’ve already been here for two and a half years! And of course, it didn’t help… Read More Year 3 Semester 2 Has Started!
So very, very recently (I guess a lot of you know the date, but let’s try to keep it a secret), I turned 22. Unlike last year, when I had this huge Studio Ghibli themed party, this birthday was very quiet. It was my first time celebrating a birthday alone, and my brilliant friend Nic… Read More 22
I’m back in Japan! 13 hour flights are awful, and going back for only 9 days (and for a research trip) means that I didn’t have nearly enough time to meet people/rest. I’m actually more stressed now than before the trip :p But, the trip was fruitful (let me know if you want to hear… Read More Friends and Food Picture Spam: The fun parts of my Singapore Trip
I’m in Malaysia! For my sub-zemi – we’re attending an industrial show, which has been quite interesting so far. And now, time for the last part of my main zemi’s camp. So, most of you have heard my election-day story, where I had not enough sleep. Well, I probably mentioned in there, but I’ll mention… Read More ゼミ合宿 (Zemi Class Camp) Day 3
