My mom and bro came to Japan last week, and for the weekend, we decided to go to Sasebo. Our main purpose was to go apartment hunting, but we managed to squeeze in an afternoon of touring! And due to the many, many photos, I’ll be splitting the post into two parts – Part 1:… Read More Sasebo Part 1 – Kujukushima (九十九島)
I hope December is treating you well! Personally, I can’t believe that we’re already at the end of the year. Where did the rest of 2016 go, and why does it feel like time speeds up as I’m getting older? On the last day of November, two very important things occurred. The first is that… Read More I Passed my First Driving Test!
Are you ready for some picture spam? Because I went to Dazaifu with a friend to see the autumn leaves and obviously I took lots of pictures! (ok, only about 20 plus, but still!) This was the ticket that we took: It contains the tickets there and back, free umegae mochi (which come to think… Read More Autumn Leaves at Dazaifu
This post was requested by someone on Dayre, and I decided to share it here as well! Ok, this is one of those posts where I need to start with a disclaimer: Disclaimer I will be using third party accounts (very generalised, non-identifiable kind) when I can, but this post is ultimately an anecdotal post. Where… Read More On Being an Asian Foreigner in Japan
Despite the fact that it’s getting colder, I’ve been eating ice-cream. This is basically inspired by RocketNews24, which reported on the Haagen Daz ice cream that looks a lot like mapo doufu. Being a naturally curious person (and because the ice-cream sounded good), I decided to try it out and… It really does look like… Read More Ice-cream that doesn’t look like ice-cream
Last Sunday was my Church’s Autumn Bazaar! Luckily for me, I managed to be there so I could volunteer. Although I forgot that service started earlier than normal so I ended up coming late :p Luckily for us, though, the weather was really great and it was nice enough that I didn’t need a thick… Read More Church Autumn Bazaar 2016
Finally, we’re at the end of the recap! Unfortunately, the winds grew rather strong from the afternoon onwards, so there was no afternoon flight or the full version of the night balloons. But I’m jumping ahead of myself. Morning Competition When you want to sleep but everyone is like“Get up and fly!” Balloon Fantastia The… Read More Saga International Balloon Fiesta Recap: Day 5
I’m back with the recap! This day was the day where I experimented with taking time lapse videos and videos in general, so I may have even more photos than normal (I probably have more than enough photos of Hot Air Balloons). Morning Competition The morning had the most dramatic sunrise, but it didn’t seem… Read More Saga International Balloon Fiesta Recap: Day 4
I was going to continue posting about the Saga International Balloon Fiesta, but this whole “Dear Kelly” thing happened yesterday and though it isn’t directly related to studying in Japan, I wanted to talk about it. To sum up the matter: a girl got raped and the advice columnist blamed her for it. There is… Read More Dear Kelly, You’re Wrong
Day 3 has some of my favourite morning photos, and some of the funniest photos of the entire trip. I suppose since it was the mid-point in my volunteering stint, it would be the best part. Morning Competition The sunrise for the third day was THE BEST. The panoramas I took actually turned out pretty… Read More Saga International Balloon Fiesta Recap: Day 3
