I’m sick. The kind with coughing and sneezing and bad bad headaches. I’m a poor little bunny (as my mother would say) but because my husband is still in Japan there’s nobody around to pamper me so there’s no point in moping around. That doesn’t mean I don’t (mope around), it just means the stuffed…
Usually I just take a quick look at the comments that are savely tucked away in my spam folder and then delete the whole bunch. Normally it’s pretty easy to identify a comment as spam, something along the lines: But this time I virtually stumbled and came to a halt with this comment: …what the…
Today I have some follow up pictures taken near the Fushimi Inari-Taisha and some really yummy looking ones from a restaurant in Osaka (^_^) *ugh* I’d love to have this matcha soft-ice right now…
I’ll admit, that is definitely some weirder news from Japan, yet it shows an asymmetry that I find more disturbing than anything Megumi Igarashi could mold. I am sure that Japan is by far not the only country where public displays of a vagina would cause commotion, but especially in a country where festivals rank…
羨ましい（うらやましい） = urayamashii = jealous, envious When I see all the pictures my husband send me from Japan, especially from all the – oh so good – looking food, there is but one word that comes to mind: urayamashiiiii (note the long “i”? yeah, it’s for emphasis, because I’m really really really jealous). Though in…
Here is part two of the random picture posts from Japan, today featuring a more than colorful train and a visit at Tsukada Nojo (塚田農場) Universal Studios Japan Train Tsukada Nojo (塚田農場) Adress: B1, 2-8-13, Sonezaki, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, 530-0057 (〒530-0057 大阪府大阪市北区曽根崎2-8-13 B1)
In Beppu not only the Onsen and the Jigoku Meguri are worth a look. I had the best weather imaginable when I was visiting and I enjoyed walking beside the beach and sitting there, staring out onto the ocean for a long time. It felt so calm and just happy to sit there, enjoy the…
Since last week I am officially a freelance author for “Eckendenker” and write there (as I do here) about Japan Of course I want to share those articles here with you as well, so I will post a short introduction and link to the original article always “First seen on Eckendenker” (^_^) So here it…
Do you like snapshots from Japan? My husband is currently in Japan, Osaka to be exact, and on a regular basis sends me random pictures he takes in the streets or on short trips (but mainly from all the amazing looking food he is eating) and I though “Why not share them on my blog?”…
When the story broke and I first heard about it I was really feeling angry, though not too surprised to be honest. I feel sorry for assemblywoman Ayaka Shiomura, who had to endure this harrassment and I am glad that the story stirred a lot of outrage (The petition ultimately closed at 91,356 signatures).
I lost my heart in Japan
