My FIRST Log! Would You Like to Hear it?

In my last post I asked what you would like to hear from me now I have left. I was digging through some stuff the other day and I found my very FIRST book log that I kept when I toured Japan originally. I was thinking about typing it up and reminding myself of what my younger self thought of Japan. Would you like to hear about what I got up to? I'm not sure if I can even remember! HA!!

    That's so cool that you chronicled your adventures right from the early days -- I honestly wish I'd been better at doing that myself over my time here. Definitely sounds like it would be a fun thing to share if you're willing to!

    I really wish I had kept better logs of my first days in Japan. Its all a blur! And I normally record everything, but didn't my first trip as an exchange student nor as an employee in a huge conglomerate. And it was before the days of Google Maps, which now at least keeps a record of the locations I've been to. Its great that you have those records and it would be very interesting to read.

    That's cool you're willing to share your log. In my first year, I wrote long email letters to my family and friends a few times a month. It helped me keep perspective while amusing people back home. Unfortunately, the texts were lost (the laptop got stolen).

What sakura apps / websites are you using in 2024?

What websites or Apps are you using to keep track of the bloom stages of cherry blossoms in 2024? I usually use a mix of Tenki.jp, Yahoo and Jorudan and another one that I have forgotten! (I delete them at the end of each season to free up space on my phone). I occasionally use the app from JMA, but I don't like its set up. Are there any other Apps or websites you recommend? TIA

What's in your toshikoshi soba?

What do you put in your toshikoshi soba? One year I sauteed some chicken and naganegi to start a broth augmented with tsuyu, cooked the soba separately, and served the broth with kamaboko slices.

Transferring Pension

I'm currently sorting through EVERYTHING I bought back from Japan with me, so you'll get all your new blogs soon. I came across some documents that I actually completed when I came back from Japan, which was to do with pensions. This took me a while to figure out because it was complicated. Would you like to know how to transfer your pension to you from Japan? People say you can't. The things is... you can.
