https://jadenecklace54.wordpress.com/2013/07/29/357-1

There comes a moment before you finish off a year abroad, and/or an amazing experience, when it finally hits you. Time isn’t slowing down for you to get everything you want done or get enough of something. If anything, the clock is actually ticking faster. I’m a mess. I’m not good with goodbyes. I hope for those of you who are also leaving the JET Programme or Japan in general, that you are cooping with this much,. Better than I am. And in case you are wondering, yes, this blog will stop getting updated ...

Special Sakura: A Letter « 365 Sakura Steps

https://jadenecklace54.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/358-1

Special Sakura: A Letter. I am at a lost for words to describe just how wonderful these last 365 days have been. A year may not sound like much in the greater scheme of life, but that doesn’t mean it can’t pack a powerful punch. You gave me a beautiful seaside town to live in. Yasuda may be remote, but that’s how I like to experience a country, its culture and the myriad of traditions and quirks. Remember all the countless. That resulted in some crazy, loud nights? They were the ones there for me at some...

Japanese etiquette and manners explained. Updated 28 December 2014. See also my new Japanese table manners explained page. Why are the Japanese so rude with their families? In many British and American families there is an emphasis on kids say Can/ Could? Why do the Japanese not give reasons when they apologise, refuse invitations and deal with complaints?

Japanese body language and gestures explained | Japan Explained FASAQ

https://japanexplained.wordpress.com/japanese-body-language-and-gestures-explained

Japanese body language and gestures explained. Updated and expanded 1 January 2015. Why do the Japanese point at their noses to show I/ me? Although I didn’t notice it when I lived there, a book on Thailand that I read recently says it happens there too. If so, I wonder if it could be the Buddhist idea that your soul lives in your head, also responsible for the taboo against touching Thai people on the head. Why is thumbs down more negative in Japan than in other places? You don’t see this a lot in publi...

Henry Burris and His Complaining Puts an Asterisk on my ‘Go Stamps Go*’ | Procrastination Post

https://procrastinationpost.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/henry-burris-complaining-puts-an-asterisk-on-my-go-stamps-go

How ‘IT’ Staff Make us Look Good. November 22, 2008 · 11:25 pm. Henry Burris and His Complaining Puts an Asterisk on my ‘Go Stamps Go*’. In this case, I would agree with the critics. Leading up to this week, as well as at beginning of playoffs, Burris and his loud mouth kept emphasizing how most important is the team award and the Grey Cup at the end of the road. So why is more noise being made about these outstanding player awards? Was he voted off the island? You barely squeaked by BC, and the way you ...

https://procrastinationpost.wordpress.com/our-mission

No doubt that procrastination is a beast to tackle. Who hasn’t, at one time or another, or maybe even constantly, been crushed under its unforgiving tracks. You can count me in as being a repeat victim with all the imprints to prove it. Having tried a variety of methods to counteract and resist, I decided to start a writing project devoted to exploring this fascinating theme creatively, sometimes humorously, and to hopefully provide entertaining and insightful writing in the process as well. Points 3 and...
