Japanese language and learning
Tips and tricks for learning the Japanese language, and perhaps some other topics that will appeal to grammar nerds like me.
Personal experiences and stories
Some of my own funny or interesting experiences while living in Japan. Not exactly “how-to guide” material, but they might give you some insight so you can try out the fun things I’ve done (or avoid the not so fun things).
Travel guides
All about the places I’ve been: how to get there, what to do while you’re there, and other tips.
