This is technically my belated birthday post haha. For my birthday, it rained the entire day, which meant that I couldn’t go to Yanagawa as planned and ended up spending the day in the city. So, I decided to visit the Hakata Machiya Folk Museum. The museum is a small but lovely place, good for… Read More Hakata Machiya Folk Museum
Most of you have heard of Line, the messaging app (even if you don’t use it). Anyway, Line has really been diversifying their business, from issuing their own debit card (Line Pay Card) to their creating own mobile company (announced recently). I wrote about visiting the Line Fukuoka Office, and after that visit, I got curious… Read More All About the Line Pay Card
Like the title says – after five years in Japan, I’m finally taking my first steps towards getting a driver’s license. Luckily for me, I have a driving school within walking distance of my house, and better yet, it has a really good track record. Apparently, its graduates get into the least amount of accidents… Read More I started going to driving school!
I’m skipping chronological order because today’s event was way too fun! Basically, I ended up dressed like this guy: Depending on which part of the world you’re from (and how much you like finding things), you’d recognise this as the Where’s Wally or Where’s Waldo costume 😀 Huis ten Bosch is aiming to grab the… Read More Where’s Wally Event in Tenjin
And you thought that my job hunting journey was over. NOPE. Until April next year, you can expect me to blog about preparing for my job – and this is one aspect of it. The 内定式 (naiteishiki) may or may not be a uniquely Japanese thing. I can’t really find an English translation (hence me thinking… Read More 内定式
Yesterday’s post was so short I thought that I should post today too. And of course, it’s about food (it’s amazing how I’m not 100kg by now). Anyway, last week, I met up with two friends and we went to go try the flower salt (花塩) pudding at Itoshima! I’ve actually heard about it early… Read More 花塩プリンとメロンパン (Salt Pudding and Melonpan)
I’m not sure if it’s still going on, but on September 17th (or thereabouts), MacDonalds released a Funassyi-themed Happy Meal! Obviously I’m going to try a Happy Meal, right? (my age is not a factor here. not at all). Anyway, look at the box!! It’s inspiring my hoarding tendencies. There’s also a sticker sheet, which… Read More Funassyi Happy Meal
I actually have one more Singapore event (a fascinating exhibition called Christianity in Asia) that I want to share, but I do have other Japan stuff that I want to write about (and that I think you all will be more interested in), so this shall be the last Singapore recap for now. A few… Read More Singapore Recap III: Dad’s Birthday
If you’re an animal person, you definitely need to go to the Singapore Zoo. It’s probably my favourite zoo so far, and like the SEA aquarium, more or less spoils the market for other zoos (I hear that the Sapporo zoo is really good though). Which is probably why I wasn’t so enthusiastic about the… Read More Singapore Recap II: Singapore Zoo
Close to the end of my trip, one of my friends came to visit me! She came for four days and three nights (well, including flight time it was more like two half days and two full days). It’s not enough to see Singapore, but if you’re not from Singapore and taking a quick trip,… Read More Singapore Recap: Gardens by the Bay (Mid Autumn Festival)
