Yes, I am off to England (London with a side trip to Oxford) in a few hours for a whirlwind one-week adventure. I’ll be back to blogging with UK travel photos, write-ups, and generally fantastic stuff after 3/21!

It sounds like you’re going to have a wonderful trip, Oxford especially is such a beautiful place. Have fun and I can’t wait to see what you post! ❤
It was a wonderful trip! And now I have about a million things to blog about… tomorrow. 😀
Dear Alexis
Please forgive this email, but as a blogger on Japan, we would like to offer you the chance to get a free copy of the world’s first novel to be written entirely in ”Japlish”. It is called Big Sound Temple by Ben Stevens, who lives and works in Nagasaki. It is available on Amazon Kindle, or there is a link:
(The book is currently free to download as part of a promotion.)
It is hoped that word of mouth, blog reviews, etc, will help to tell people about Big Sound Temple.
Many thanks,
Yoriko Aramaki
Thank you for telling me about the book, Yoriko! It’s not one I would have found on my own, so I’ll definitely check it out.
