I am a little early for my New Year’s Resolutions as I normally just think of those when someone asks me if I have any or develop them along the way (so, more Mid-Year Resolutions really). Its about two weeks to Christmas and when I realised that I have bought exactly none presents until know…
First seen on sumikai.com When the days get longer Illuminations start popping up around the country, creating a magical atmosphere in the darkness of the night. Inspired by the Blue Grotto (=ao no dokutsu) on the coast of the island of capri a one kilometer stretch alongside the Meguro has been decorated with blue lights. The…
I just completed the online registration for a TOEIC exam on November 29th. The TOEIC is the “Test of English for International Communication” and if you are asking yourself why this is noteworthy news for me, it’s all because of five little word: We will move to Japan!

(As I have mentioned before) My husband and I were/are thinking about moving to Japan, Tokyo to be exact, and…
