Interviewed

Not so long ago I was interviewed for a magazine published by the Japan Foundation. The article is here - all in Japanese I am afraid.

As it was part of a series on students of Japanese and their jobs, they asked me to take along some of the texts I had used to learn Japanese. I chose two manga books and a collection of poetry by Aida Mitsuo.

Hopefully I come across better than my last online interview, where I ended up suggesting I did most of my research by reading manga.

Blogged

I spent all of yesterday taking photos of people waiting by the statue of Hachiko in Shibuya (for more on Hachiko, see here).

This guy was taking photos too. The photo of me is from his blog.
