We woke up nice and early to rain. I love rain but, kind of makes it annoying on travels. So we went to the local convenience store ‘combini’ Lawson and bought some umbrellas. Then we headed off, it was about a 2 hours drive today to Furano. On the way we stopped for a toilet […]

Morning view from my hotel room. Absolutely stunning. I had to take another photo before we went into the hot springs again for our morning shower. Then we had breakfast and headed off to go to Jozan. On the way we stopped by a observatory area where we were once again eclipsed by the cerulean […]

So the other day a friend of mine was so kind to try and introduce me online to his event manager friend in the music industry. Before a conversation could even begin, she snubbed my hello, wrote “Alrighty” and left the conversation. Then, without even meeting me or knowing anything about me, she went on […]

I had a lovely day yesterday. I started my day working my first day at Nightlife Music (digital advertising/music firm) as a marketing assistant. I met the 90+ staff there which was absolutely daunting but got settled right into their friendly work culture. I then had to do the scary task of catching my very […]
