Ok, before we start talking about food, let me take a few sentences to express my amazement at the Germany vs Brazil match. It was… unbelievable. And a bit sad for Brazil, since they were hoping for a win, but since I support Germany, I’m really happy with the outcome. The German Goalkeeper was amazing!… Read More Japan McDonald’s World Cup Menu (Part 2)
One of the things that I’ve joined this year is SCIKyu, or Student Group on Internationalisation of Kyushu University. It’s basically a group that researches the ways to make Kyushu University friendlier to foreign students and give the Japanese students a more international outlook. I joined because I think it’s a worthy goal, and if… Read More SCIkyu Overnight Meeting
今はあじさいの季節ですね〜これは家の近くで見つけたあじさいです（笑） Apparently, Ajisai aka Hydrangea season is just over. I’m not too sure, but by the time I noticed that “hey, there are’s a Ajisai festival”, the places that I wanted to go were closed (they ended on June 30th, which just goes to show how slow I am haha). But, I did take some… Read More Ajisai Photos・あじさいの写真
This post is for +Magdalena Dyguś, who requested I write about the clubs I’m in. Hey everyone! Today, I’ll be writing about the golf club in Kyushu University. Technically, I’m in three different clubs, but Golf is the one I’ve been in the longest (also, it doesn’t really count if you just join the club’s line… Read More Kyushu University Golf Club
… realising that your student’s mother stamps totoro stamps onto your pay envelopes. d’awww, now I can’t throw them away! This semester is the first semester where I’m actually working (more than once a week). It’s pretty interesting having to juggle work, school and leisure time.
Time is definitely flying past me. And one way time slapped me in the face to let me know that this is my third year in Japan (so fast? I still feel like I just came!) was by having my visa come close to expiring. If you’ve been following this blog (hello! Thank you!), you… Read More How To Renew Your Student Visa
Quick question! What do Princess Mononoke, Fantastic Children or the Girl Who Leapt Through Time have in common? Well, they’re all films that Yamamoto Nizo has worked upon as an Art Director. And right now, there’s a special exhibition at the Fukuoka Asia Art Museum called The World of Yamamoto Nizo: Master of Japanese Animation… Read More The World of Yamamoto Nizo Exhibition
Sometime back, I blogged about 船乗り込み (funanorikomi) and mentioned that I was excited to watch my first Kabuki show. Well, yesterday was the day! Thanks to KUFSA (Kyushu University Foreign Students Association), I got to watch 劇団やまもも (gekidan yamamomo – Yamamomo acting troupe) for free at 那珂川 (Nakagawa). Before the show. Once we arrived, we we brought to… Read More My First Kabuki Show!
It’s officially World Cup season! While I don’t really keep up with football or sports, World Cup is one of the few sporting events that I actually watch (the other event is World Cup). Thankfully, NHK streams the matches live, so I can watch them from the comfort of my home. Assuming, that is, I… Read More MacDonald’s Japan World Cup Menu (Part 1?)
Because my life has been settling down lately, I don’t have anything interesting to share (I haven’t gone anywhere interesting). I’ll be writing about my clubs soon, like Magdalena suggested (I’m still deciding on which club to write about, since I barely go to any of them. Whoops). So since I went to watch the… Read More Movie Review: Dimensional Sniper (Detective Conan Movie #18)
