    September 2020: Monday

    September A new season. However, the weather is still rainy and super humid. It is going to be a while before it is fall, my favourite season of all. It is getting rather busy here at work as we are nearing into October, one of the busiest seasons for me. I thought I’d show how […]

    An Inside Look: Life in Japan (An Introduction)

    Autumn As the new season draws in, I have decided to introduce a new series to my blog this week. An inside look. Life in Japan as a foreigner is a lot different compared to travels in Japan as a foreigner. Some days, it’s hard to piece them into words. I will be mixing things […]

  • Discovering Japan: Yamagata

    Yamagata. A prefecture that when I told my co-workers that I would be visiting on the long weekends in September, got the reply of “Hah, what is there to do there?” As I slowly conquer each prefecture from North to South, Yamagata was not going to be left out. When I did some research on […]

  • Discovering Japan: Go-To-Travel Campaign

    Covid has brought on a lot of impact onto the world and everyday lives. I never imagined life would be like that. In an effort to save the tourism and economic recovery here in Japan, the “Go-To-Travel Campaign” was introduced in late July. The campaign is confusing to many, even myself, but I’ll run through […]

    Discovering Japan: Aomori

    The first thing that comes to mind is apples. Oh and skiing. Truthfully, I wasn’t too sure why I always had the urge to visit Aomori. But, I am glad I did.

    Discovering Japan: Hokkaido

    First off, let’s talk about priorities : FOOD If you have not tried Hokkaido milk from the local supermarkets (supa), you are really in for a treat. During my first month in Japan, I was blown away with the difference Hokkaido milk had compared to normal milk. Trust me, that extra ¥150 is worth it […]
