Le Musée en Rose: The New Ginger Museum

August 19, 2022

After a long, busy transition to my new surroundings, I finally have a chance to sit and write! To say my life has undergone some changes would be an understatement. Work has kept me plenty busy, and it's been difficult to find the time to explore what's around me.…

Farewell to Kame House: A Transitional Period in my Life

March 22, 2022

Coffee Talk

I woke up this morning and saw that it had been snowing since early morning. The last time I saw snow like this was probably a couple years ago. It seems like such long time ago, though I suppose that's due to the number of things that have happened…

Tochigi Coffee Festival 2021

November 22, 2021

Coffee

In life, the importance of simple joys can not be overstated. They are the small things within our days that provide a sense of relief, comfort, or escape. Like many, one of my simple joys is having a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning. Years ago I…

A Trip to See the Animals: Utsunomiya Zoo

November 4, 2021

Japan

This past year and a half has certainly been crazy. Even after receiving my covid vaccine, it’s been a slow startup getting back to the way things were before. The biggest transition has been traveling. Even with a vaccine, I still feel the need to be careful and proceed…

My Growing Appreciation for Ice Hockey

February 12, 2021

Sports

In general, I wouldn’t consider myself much of a sports fan. I have my favorite teams for most sports like basketball and football, and I’ll occasionally tune in when there’s a big event (Super Bowl, etc). However, when asked what my hobbies are, watching sports is usually not one…

Destination: Cafecito! My Time with Animal Crossing

January 18, 2021

Video Games

2020. The year that put many things on hold. Normally around this time, I would have recently returned from my travel in the U.S. to see family and friends. Unfortunately, the year has played out differently from past ones, and I don’t need to explain why. Not only were…

My Approach to Language Learning: One of the Many Ways I Spend my Free Time

May 11, 2020

Coffee Talk

By this point, everyone has been affected by current events in some form or another. Feeling restricted to staying inside, apart from necessary trips to work and trips to the grocery store, has lead to a very different lifestyle. In my observation this has proved difficult for many people,…

The Danish Capital of America: Solvang

February 10, 2020

Travel

The holidays have passed and with that many have been well reestablished into their day to day routine. Working their nine to five, catching up with the latest series, or perhaps visiting their usual café to get some studying done. Along with my readjustment, I use my time now…

Falling for Nikko

November 13, 2019

Japan

As much as I enjoy living in Japan, there is one thing about it that I find very hard to enjoy: Japanese summer. Sure, Japanese festivals are nice, and summer treats are pleasant, but with the overbearing summer heat looming over everything, it makes it extremely hard to enjoy…

By the Sea: Yokohama

September 21, 2019

Japan

Moving away from the land-locked green of Tochigi, we ventured south to seek a different type of beauty. After three hours of passing through the countryside and city buidlings, we finally arrived at Yokohama station! Because of the long train ride, we were of course hungry. That being said,…
