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
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
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
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)
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)
Screenshot from 66 News I saw this blogpost making the rounds on Facebook, and I felt like talking about it, so here’s a different blogpost from the usual. The Summary: You can find the actual post here, but if you want a summary, here’s what I understand it’s saying: Problems faced by people studying abroad… Read More Thoughts on “The Dark Side of Studying Abroad”
