Archive of my posts from my time in Japan
Hey everyone! I hope all of you who are in Japan managed to enjoy Golden Week. It’s peak season for Huis ten Bosch so I’ve been absolutely swamped with work! But I did manage to catch the latest Detective Conan movie before Golden Week started so I thought I’d just talk about it today. Image… Read More Detective Conan Movie: Crimsom Love Letter
Time for the first part of the recap! I’m sure all of you have heard TONS of things about Fukuoka and to a lesser extent Yanagawa and Dazaifu by now so I want to focus on something different: Should you rent a car in Fukuoka (or anywhere else in Kyushu)? The answer if obvious if… Read More Should you rent a car in Fukuoka? (+ Yanagawa in Spring!)
Since I’ve started working at Huis ten Bosch, I’ve gotten a lot of chances (well, it’s less of a chance and more of a requirement) to learn about the latest things related to it. I’ve also had the immense luck of having two groups of friends visit, so I’ve been exploring the park quite a… Read More Huis ten Bosch Updates: Miffy Cafe, Amazing Cheese Fondue and More!
Alright, time to get started on my graduation trip with my family, or I’ll never get started (I probably won’t be posting consecutively, because I’ve got some other stuff too(: ). Last March, my family came for my graduation, and since they were here, decided to tour Kyushu. And guess who was their guide? (no… Read More Kyushu in a Week? (An Itinerary)
Sakura season is long over and it turns out that I didn’t manage to make it to any spots apart from Mifuneyama rakuen. But, I did manage to take a few photos here and there and thought I’d just share them with you. First, from near my place: The second is from Sasebo city. I’m… Read More Sakura 2017: Here and There in Sasebo
Sakura season was a little late this year, but it’s finally here (and by the time I’m writing this, almost over). Luckily for me, I had friends visiting so on my off day, I was out bringing them around instead of staying in my apartment and trying to become comatose. We ended up visiting Mifuneyama… Read More Sakura 2017: Mifuneyama Rakuen
While my sister was still here, we decided to drive around Sasebo for a day and visit the different observatories! The Sasebo99 site has a few recommended observatories (link to the English site) and we basically based our trip on that. By the way, anyone know how to embed a google map saved locations thing? I… Read More Sasebo Observatories
Finally finishing my recap of the Kuroshima trip, which was more than half a month ago! If you don’t remember, in the last post, I talked about the Deguchi family and some trees (it sounds boring when I put it like that). Well, after visiting those two sites, our guide brought us to a lookout… Read More Kuroshima – Make Sure You Visit (Part 3)
I got back to Sasebo yesterday (almost typed Fukuoka out of habit) and finally have time to write this post. So as you probably know, I’ve graduated!!! And I managed to wear a hakama for my ceremony, something that I’ve been wanting to do. +Whitney Yee I went to go research about Hakama, like I promised.… Read More Graduation Post
Hey everyone! Just a quick post to say that after five years, my journey as a MEXT scholar has come to an end. Yesterday, I graduated from Kyudai, ending my university studies. 昨日、私は九州大学から卒業できました。あっという間に５年間が終わりました。たくさんの方々からお世話になりましたので、お礼を申し上げたいと思います。ありがとうございました。 I have wondered about what I should do after I graduate (I do have some travel posts which I plan to finish… Read More I’ve Graduated! 卒業しました！(Next steps?)
