In the past two days, I saw two animals that I don’t think belong here. Yesterday, I opened my door and saw this: The consensus is that it’s a crab, but what is a crab doing outside my house? I mean, there’s a river, but it’s quite far and you have to cross traffic. Yet… Read More These Animals Should Not Be Here
Hey everyone! The really busy two weeks are over, and I can’t believe I said that. I have a presentation next week, but after two weeks of two or more presentations per week (or was it three weeks?), just one presentation seems fine. Even though, you know, I have a ton of research to do.… Read More My First Flower Arranging Lesson
So on Monday, I blogged about the first part of my one day trip to Karatsu, the food section, before I ran out of time. My presentation was yesterday, and well, for a presentation where we changed the company about three times (we finalised on the “company” on Monday morning, so we basically did everything… Read More One Day Trip to Karatsu (唐津日帰り旅行) Part 2
As you may have noticed, I’ve been rather stressed with school lately. So in a bit of forward planning that I wasn’t aware of, I signed up for a one-day bus tour to Karatsu (in Saga prefecture). The tour was on Saturday, so it ended that week with two presentations (one of them a last… Read More One Day Trip to Karatsu (唐津日帰り旅行) Part 1
Gak is the sound that a person makes when choking, or at least that’s what this onomatopoeia site says. And I’m definitely undergoing some mental choking right now. I had a presentation yesterday, and I have two book reports due tomorrow 5 p.m. Book reports, I should add, that I can’t write because I haven’t… Read More Gak
As part of one of my seminars, I was told to go to this summit, which I can only translate as “Special Zone for Start-Ups Summit (One year anniversary)”, which I think is the full name. I went there not knowing what to expect, or where the place really was, but when I got there,… Read More 創業特区一周年サミット (Special Zone for Start-Ups Summit)
So yesterday, instead of having a nice Saturday at home, I was at school from 10.30 am to about 10pm. Why? Well, one of my zemi’s had a special session. That seems extremely unconnected with the blog post title, so I’ll explain it now. You see, we were originally supposed to be having a combined… Read More There Were Supposed To Be American Students
It’s time for a very rare book review! Anyway, I requested this book from NetGalley because it’s an aspect of World War II that I haven’t heard about before, I mean, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never heard of a Kawashima Yoshiko in any of my textbooks. Kawashima Yoshiko (born Aisin Gioro Xian… Read More Book Review: Manchu Princess, Japanese Spy by Phyllis Birnbaum
Hey everyone! Remember my recent (two posts ago recent) post about Kawachi Fuji Gardens? Well, unbeknownst to me, my cousin was taking videos, and she put together a vlog! I love the way she tells the trip(: Hopefully, she continues doing this!
I can’t believe I’m already a third year student (and it’s the last day of Golden Week, where did the time go?). That means this is my fourth year in Japan, and that next year will be my last year… And yet, I still feel as though I just arrived :p Apparently, this is me.… Read More Kyushu University Year 3 Start of Semester 1
