Oreo & Hershey’s Sweets Taste Test

August 15, 2017

I was at the supermarket last week when I remembered that Oreo has released a line of sweets. It’s supposed to be only available this summer, so I decided to look for it and I found that Hershey’s released a line of sweets as well! And because my willpower for sweets is practically non-existent, I… Read More Oreo & Hershey’s Sweets Taste Test

(Part Of) Japanese Church History

August 6, 2017

Today happens to be the anniversary of the Church that I’m attending in Sasebo and 平和聖日 (Holy Day of Peace) for the 日本基督教団 (United Church of Christ in Japan – for convenience,  I use ‘the Church’ and ‘United Church of Christ in Japan’ pretty much interchangeably in this post, but I am not talking about… Read More (Part Of) Japanese Church History

Random Ramblings on Stereotypes & Making Friends

July 30, 2017

(This post probably does not have a point) So a while back, I did an AMA on living in Japan on my Dayre. This was one of the questions: Have you been able to make good friends with Japanese? I’ve heard they are notoriously difficult to befriend and can be very fake and insincere. And… Read More Random Ramblings on Stereotypes & Making Friends

Blueberry Picking + Gelato!!!

July 9, 2017

Yesterday, my friends and I went to pick blueberries! Originally, we wanted to go on this blueberry + onsen + gelato tour but they couldn’t get enough people so they canceled. Luckily for us, we found a farm we could go to and decided to just go there ourselves. The place was really very ulu though. It’s… Read More Blueberry Picking + Gelato!!!

Lupicia Tea Marche 2017

July 2, 2017

Last week, I traveled all the way back to Fukuoka for the Lupicia Tea Marche! (To be honest I didn’t really need much of a reason) I really enjoyed last year’s marche and since I’m doing a tea exchange right now, I thought it the tea fair would be a good excuse to get all… Read More Lupicia Tea Marche 2017

Hydrangea Picture Spam! (+ Hydrangea Parfait)

June 22, 2017

So Huis ten Bosch is having a hydrangea festival right now, and one of my friends and I decided to go and take a look at the flowers and try the hydrangea parfait after work. And of course, I brought along my camera and took too many photos. Kinda like this. Amsterdam Square  I finished… Read More Hydrangea Picture Spam! (+ Hydrangea Parfait)

Why did I not eat here earlier???

June 18, 2017

Earlier this month, I made my way back to Fukuoka because I was going to surprise my granddad for his birthday. And since it’s pretty much impossible for me to catch the flight if I leave from Sasebo, I arrived in Fukuoka the night before. My main concern was finding a place to eat, since… Read More Why did I not eat here earlier???

I Saw Fireflies For the First Time!

June 13, 2017

On Sunday, I heard that you could see fireflies in Sasebo. Well, I guess they are probably in Fukuoka too, but I didn’t have a car or a license when I was in Fukuoka. So I googled and found out that the last day of his firefly viewing event at Yunoki was on Sunday and… Read More I Saw Fireflies For the First Time!

Rose Festival Pictures

June 7, 2017

You know, I could have sworn that I blogged about this already but apparently not. I really apologise for my lack of updates (and I know I say this a lot but I do mean it every single time) but I find that I’m really tired nowadays and my life isn’t that interesting. I wonder… Read More Rose Festival Pictures

Aerial Legends – Game Based on Huis ten Bosch!

May 25, 2017

Ok, so two days ago (or maybe three days), Huis ten Bosch released its first smartphone game! It’s a role-playing game that was co-developed with GoodLuck3 and it’s called Aerial Legends!! If you take a look at the world of the game, it looks extremely similar to Huis ten Bosch! The most obvious one in… Read More Aerial Legends – Game Based on Huis ten Bosch!
