I&#8217;ve been a bit late with these to say the least, consider this catching up time. November 2007 was a strange month, mainly because this is when I started to move away from teaching and into a &#8216;proper&#8217; job as Copy Editor [...]]]></description>

September in Japan heralded the end of the summer heat and oppression and a return to &#8216;normality&#8217; with work and the daily grind following the extended Obon holidays. It&#8217;s also around September time that I started to really consider the possibility of [...]]]></description>
