Exactly one week ago, I headed to 御船山楽園 (Mifuneyama Rakuen) because it was Golden Week and I wanted to be able to say I went somewhere. And ok, because I saw this: Image from the Official Site So I figured, if I go a week before it’s supposed to end, I should be fine, right? Wrong!… Read More 御船山楽園 (Mifuneyama Rakuen)
Alright, time for the shukatsu guide I promised! Thank you Turkka Hynynen and Whitney Yee for your comments, which helped shaped this post. This is definitely not a complete shukatsu guide, so if I missed out anything, just ask and I may end up writing a second part (although I’ll definitely answer you first). For the record, I wrote… Read More How to Get a Job in Japan (Q&A format)
Today, I hit the “publish” button for the second time! The School of Anime Characters is basically a short collection of short stories inspired by the anime-loving side of me. And luckily for me, I’ve got plenty of anime-loving friends, so their stories gave me all that inspiration. And a cover. So, thank, James! I… Read More The School of Anime Characters – Published

Alright, I’m finally here with the last sakura post of the year. Long after the sakura have fallen. Anyway, the last place that I went to this year was… my neighbourhood XD I did this two years ago too, so I’ll try not to post the same type of photos. First up, the sakura near… Read More Sakura 2016: Around the Neighbourhood
Hey everyone! If you’re living in Fukuoka, or even if you’re not and just want to help, you may be interested in the With The Kyushu project. What is it about? According to this post by Fukuoka city, this is a concrete way that Fukuoka is helping the victims of the earthquake in Kumamoto. Apart… Read More With the Kyushu Project
Yesterday (or was it two days ago?) a huge earthquake struck Kumamoto. At the time of the earthquake, I was talking to my cousin and didn’t think much about it. I mean, my house rocked, which was a first for Kyushu, but this was fairly common in Tokyo. Then I went on Twitter and realised… Read More Earthquake in Kumamoto
I really, really should be posting the last of the sakura pictures of the year (all the sakura around here have fallen), but… I’ve got something else! Ok, first up, shukatsu updates. If you remember, I went for the Huis ten Bosch interview exactly a week ago. And guess what? I passed! Somehow. This means… Read More Shukatsu Updates + Blockchain Economics Research Lab
Hey everyone! So last week, when the sakura were in full bloom, I headed out to Fukuoka Castle to get some pictures! Unfortunately, most of them were rather blurry (shows you how lousy I am as a photographer), but I do hope you enjoy these not-so-terrible ones. I basically walked in from Akasaka station, so… Read More Sakura 2016: Fukuoka Castle
Yesterday, I went to Huis ten Bosch for my first job interview. They actually have the interview at Huis ten Bosch and at Fukuoka, but due to scheduling constraints, buying a ticket to go all the way there turned out to be the more convenient action. Since I like Huis ten Bosch, I wasn’t going… Read More Huis ten Bosch Group Interview and Tulip/Easter Decorations
