‘November arrived, cold as frozen iron…’ J.K Rowling, Order of the Phoenix The month started pretty chill, with me sat in 525 café typing away waiting for my Oreo waffles. I remember feeling pretty happy at this point, Halloween had been a success and I feeling was content in my own company, recharging from another [...]
Although the last few weeks have been HECTIC I wanted to spend the last few days before I head off for Christmas getting organized. With so much happening all the time, it’s been pretty difficult to write consistently, but when I do get down to write at least there’s plenty of content! October was amazing, [...]
This weekend I headed over to an organic market being held in Nishiki.

It’s the end of September and I’m reaching the milestone of 2 months in Japan. Every year, around this time, I get the strongest urge to write. I guess it’s the colder nights that make me want to cosy up and type away my next article or blog post. It would seem that even moving [...]
If you're like me, you may have thought that being veggie in Japan would be easy. They eat TOFU right? Right… Well, this expectation was already questioned before I moved to Japan. In my pre-move research I found a barrage of blogs talking about how hard it is to eat green in the Land of [...]
