Bright Life! Bright Life!
As mentioned in my previous post my visit to HK took place in October. At this time the unrest taking place was a different level than the unrest that is occurring now. The violence has now moved into the Polytechnic University, in response to the death of a 22 year-old-student. I read about what happened [...]
I did it, I finally got to visit Hong Kong! Granted it was a short one, only one weekend from 12th-14th October, but it was a weekend packed with culture and new experiences. One of my big location goals was the Kowloon region. Anyone who read about my visit to the soon-to-be-closing Anata no Warehouse arcade [...]
Around this time last week I was gathering my things to help out at the JET Orientation event in Kumamoto City. I had agreed to help out at an information booth about living as a veggie in Japan to help other veggies and vegans. Sadly, bad weather meant that this part of the orientation was [...]

If you did read the post, you will have found that Takachiho is rural, boasting miles and [...]
I've been putting off this update for a while, being mega busy and feeling like I wanted to write about other things; but I decided it's important to have a monthly overview (even if it is morbidly overdue). September was my first full month in Japan, I was getting more settled into my house and [...]
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 [...]
