Coming out of the festive period this year feels a bit like coming out of a bunker and returning to cold, harsh reality. For the first time in ages I&#8217;ve actually seriously unplugged for a good 10 days, and as a result I&#8217;m finding it really hard to get back into things, not helped by [...]]]></description>

Part 1 and explanation of the series here. Read entire series via tags, here. 
June was a weird month, work was getting more &#8220;intense&#8221; and I was starting to seriously lose it with some of the BS that is involved with being an English &#8216;conversation&#8217; teacher in Japan. At the same time life in Japan [...]]]></description>

With a week long hangover and impending first skiing trip in nearly 14 years, it&#8217;s time for a round-up of my first year in Japan. Traditions and what not, everyone&#8217;s probably bored to death with yearly round-ups already but hey it&#8217;s the season of excess so I&#8217;ll add to it, considering I managed to keep my [...]]]></description>

Learning is not always fun, especially if you don&#8217;t want to do it or if it seems like an impossible task. Learning Kanji when you&#8217;re not Japanese, and didn&#8217;t start at an early age, falls quite neatly into the latter category (or the first one too, but at that point you&#8217;ve got to be thinking [...]]]></description>

Now that the summer heat is firmly behind us I&#8217;m starting to enjoy one of the things I discovered I love most about Tokyo&#8230; the quality of light during cold days. It&#8217;s hard to explain but when we arrived here in winter and I started snapping pictures left, right and centre I noticed after a [...]]]></description>

By definition trade shows are far from exciting, what with being all about just one thing and generally just an occasion for people to showcase their new products, technologies etc&#8230; in whatever field it is that&#8217;s the focus. I can think of a few expections, having done my fair share of trade shows in the [...]]]></description>
