Hello Again

I know I haven't written here in a while, and it's not been entirely intentional, though sometimes I feel like my perspective as an increasingly middle-aged, long-term expat probably isn't as valuable as it could be. I've written about the things that I thought were really important and really valuable to know about different topics concerning life in Japan, especially as a long-term expat.

Here I come, back up at you like a weed through the cracks of the sidewalk. Flourishing where I don't belong.


Other than trying to seek out new trends and things, I'm not sure what else people actually want to hear about. 


I know there is a lot of interest in whatever the newest coolest thing is in Tokyo or Osaka, but I don't live there. I don't know how many people are really interested in kife outside the big cities, but I will keep writing if you guys keep reading.


What kind of topics do people want to see more of is my question?


Feel free to drop a comment about com topics you would like me to cover.

    Yay, you're back! Honestly, I don't know much about Miyagi Prefecture. I've visited Aizu Wakamastu City, Fukushima Prefecture, and Hiraizumi Town in Iwate Prefecture. I'm curious about Miyagi Prefecture's food culture, historic spots, festivals, and legendary figures like Date Masamune.

    Welcome back! Sometimes I go missing for long periods of time too! Life can just get in the way sometimes. I'm always interested to hear about what's going on in other prefectures and how daily life is. Also, how all the recent price hikes and / or climate change are affecting people. Or maybe you have some suggestions on Japanese specific life hacks or cost saving ideas. WordPress used to have a tip section for publishers and one that stuck in my head was "plagiarize yourself"! In other words, draw inspiration from things you've already written about. Even if you wrote about them before, a lot changes over the years. On my own personal blog, sometimes I revisit old posts for inspiration.
