Smartwatches haven’t appealed to me for years.

I have liked the Omega Seamaster Professional 300M for a long time.

Last year, I came across a project called Ollee Watch.

I have been learning Japanese for several years now.

Furigana are small hiragana characters added above or beside kanji to show their pronunciation.

Zen gardens in Japan have always fascinated me.

My second trip to Japan was quite different from the first.

I had trouble sleeping throughout my second stay in Japan.

During my first trip through Japan a year ago, I had only a very basic knowledge of Japanese after studying for around a year and a half.

During my second trip to Japan, I decided to visit the bathing monkeys in Nagano Prefecture.

During my second trip to Japan, one of my goals was to improve my photography.

During my second trip to Japan, as an anime fan I naturally had to return to Akihabara and visit a maid café.

Almost as soon as I returned from my two-week trip through Japan a year ago, I began thinking that I had to go back.

Last year, I spent two weeks travelling through Japan, and it did not quite go as I had imagined.

I have been learning Japanese for more than two years, and after visiting Japan the previous spring, I decided to take an official Japanese-language exam.
