January 12, 2018

This post took quite a while to actually plan, write, and post! The reason for that is … December happened, and I had a lot of catching up to do in my reading and review-writing. Plus there’s also this little thing that I mention in almost all of these posts: writing about Japan is painful.… Read More Japan and Korea 2017 Day 7 (Part 1): Japanese Countryside, Fushimi Inari Fail, Cherry Blossom Ice Cream, and the Kiyomizu-dera Temple

October 5, 2017

I’m very very sorry about how late this post is! My life sort of exploded, and I really had to prioritize books, and book reviews for a while!

Considering that I had to split Day 5 up into 2… Read More Japan and Korea 2017 Day 5 (Part 2): Ikegami, and Harajuku (the Meiji Shrine and Takashita Street)
