Sakura 2016: Around the Neighbourhood

April 23, 2016

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

With the Kyushu Project

April 20, 2016

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

Earthquake in Kumamoto

April 16, 2016

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

Shukatsu Updates + Blockchain Economics Research Lab

April 14, 2016

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

Sakura 2016: Fukuoka Castle

April 10, 2016

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

Huis ten Bosch Group Interview and Tulip/Easter Decorations

April 8, 2016

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

A Primer on Job Hunting (就職活動) in Japan

A Primer on Job Hunting in Japan

Since I’ve been blogging a little about job hunting in Japan recently, I thought I should make a guide on job hunting in Japan. By the way, because I’m writing this in the start of April, and that means that I’ve only just started the process. Most of the information comes from what I’ve heard,… Read More A Primer on Job Hunting (就職活動) in Japan

Sakura 2016: Kumamoto Castle

March 31, 2016

Hello! I just came back from Kumamoto yesterday! I had a job hunting event there, and since it started at 10am, I decided that instead of rushing, I would go one day early and spend the night. The sakura absolutely did not influence my decision to go early, but I decided that since I was… Read More Sakura 2016: Kumamoto Castle

March 24, 2016

Image from Fujitv.co.jp/mitarai Um… hi 😀 I know I said FAQ or Shukatsu post next (sorry, Whitney!), but I remembered that I watched this a few days ago and I wanted to talk about it. BECAUSE IT IS REALLY GOOD. Ahem, I’m calm again. I basically decided to watch this two hour plus drama special… Read More Drama Review: Tensai Tantei Mitarai (天才探偵ミタライ)

General Updates (aka Shukatsu Updates)

March 21, 2016

Hey everyone! I haven’t had anything exciting happen recently, but I thought I’d just give you a general update, to sort of prove I’m alive. It’s technically my holidays now, and I did plan to go to Kokura for a one day trip, but due to financial constraints and time constraints, I haven’t had the… Read More General Updates (aka Shukatsu Updates)
