Archive of my posts from my time in Japan
As you can tell from the last post about fireworks, I had guests staying over! They were here till Sunday (Happy SG50!), and we went to Kagoshima once my exams were over. It was a pretty good way to destress, and yay, my first trip to Kagoshima! We took an afternoon bus from Hakata, arriving… Read More Kagoshima Trip Part 1: Shirokuma
This year’s Ohorikoen Fireworks took place on the 1st of August, but since I had exams and went on a trip to Kagoshima (which I’ll blog about next), I haven’t had time to post about it. Plus, it took me quite some time to get the photos ready – I took a lot, but only… Read More Ohorikoen Fireworks 2015 (大濠公園花火大会 2015)
I received confirmation that I failed my first subject. I say confirmation because my teacher told me, right after the test, that I failed by one mark. Let this be a lesson: remembering formula is important, but so is remembering kanji. I kinda wrote the wrong kanji and lost the marks that would have pushed… Read More Exams ended and…
Hey! I’ve been having exams this whole week, and finally got a break. So obviously, I remembered that in my last post, I forgot something. (With any luck, my memory was fine during the actual exams.) Basically, if you’re in Tokyo anytime from now to the end of August, you have to check out the Manga*Anime*Games… Read More Manga*Anime*Games from Japan Exhibition
Ok, I was planning to make this two posts, but exam season starts tomorrow, so who knows when I’ll blog (or conversely, if I procrastinate enough, you may see more posts :p). Anyway, after getting to Aomori, we took a shinkansen all the way down to Tokyo for two things: the NTT History Center of… Read More Aomori – Tokyo Zemi Trip: Part 3 (Tokyo)
Alright, time for Part 2 of my Aomori-Tokyo Trip. I’m going to do a one event per post thing, so they’ll be four parts total. And today, I’m continuing my Aomori adventure, with a presentation at Aomori Public University. I’m totally digressing here, but I made so many mistakes with Aomori Public University’s name. It’s… Read More Aomori – Tokyo Zemi Trip: Part 2 (Aomori Public University)
So, my zemi trip is finally over, and I arrived back in Fukuoka yesterday. I also started throwing up yesterday, so yeah, I came back with an extra “present” :/ So yeah, short post today (I was going to split it into 2, but now I’m guessing 3 or more posts) Anyway, I’m not sure… Read More Aomori – Tokyo Zemi Trip: Part 1 (Getting to Aomori)
As part of my 就活 (Shuukatsu; job hunting), I decided to buy a suit. Wait, I should probably start with “I decided that I’m going to go job-hunting in Japan”, right? Yeah, probably. So, I decided, since I’m in Japan, and because I want to practice business Japanese, that I should try to get a job… Read More 就活 (Shuukatsu): Buying a Suit
So, Nic and Bekah convinced me that rather than leaving this blog fallow, I could just blog about my life. Like how blogging was originally intended. (blog is shorted from “weblog”, which apparently started off as an online diary) Yes, I am a bit dense at times. Anyway, I’ve been in school, which is very… Read More Food, Translation Work and Presentations
I have no idea what’s been going on with the weather this week, but there were two days with absolutely unbelievable sunsets. I’d be sitting at the computer, checking my email when I look up, and through the spaces between my laundry, spy a pink sky. Obviously, when you see something like that, you have… Read More Awesome Sunset – Edited vs No Filter photos
