So, things are kinda sorta getting better in Japan. A second wave of the pandemic could be coming, it may even have started in Tokyo where the number of new cases has been rising again. And a few days ago I was being asked and I wondered whether it was […]

I just wanted to wish you a very Happy New Year 2020! I know, a lot of Japanese people celebrate the new year with the first sunset of the year. Well, don’t hold your breath if you expect me to wake up at 4-5 in the morning to […]
Just a few of the Seto Inland Sea with Ozuchishima in the background… Full disclosure: this post also serves as a “test” to see if everything goes well when I post something new. My hosting woes seem to be coming to an end… Finally… Although, it’s not the […]
