Cantonese is loud and obnoxious when compared to Mandarin….or so I’ve been told. I speak Cantonese so I never really noticed it until I was told that the dialect sounds like a lot of yelling when spoken. I kinda agree now… Anyway, the Osaka dialect is the Cantonese of Japan….or so I’ve been told (sound familiar?). Right before Melissa went back to the US, we decided to take a spur-of-the-moment trip to Osaka so we can see my handmade book in the museum in Ashiya city (where all the rich people live). As part of the spur-of-the-moment thing, we took the cheaper method to getRead More →

Sorry for the lack of updates these past few days. It’s the first week of winter break at the school I work for so we’re tyring to get as many computers and the server stuff all fixed and ready to go before we all take off for Christmas break.

Tonight’s dinner: Grilled Chicken with cheese and veggies. Chicken breasts 6 piecesMozzarela cheeseAsparagasMini TomatoesSalt and pepper for seasoningWhiteRead More →

The day after Thanksgiving was Japan’s labor day, giving us a 3 day weekend to go out and do something fun. The four of us packed a overnight bag and traveled to Nagano to stay in a ryokan.

We got there just in time for a quick dip in the onsen before dinner. TheRead More →

Portable hamster reporting for duty! My job right now is to say “Sorry for the slow updates!” to everyone who visits this website. We have small hands and feet and they are all spaced kinda far apart so it takes us a longer time to write things. Sometimes we have mommy (and maybe daddy when he feels like it) help us but she is always busy. There’s still a lot of things we want to put here so please wait a little bit :3 Oh, let me tell you a little bit about me… I’m the first hamster that my mommy and daddy adopted. DaddyRead More →

Melissa and Will visited us here for three weeks! It has been really fun having them over and doing things with them. Too bad Will was only here for a week but I think he had a lot of fun. There’s quite a bit of stuff I need to catch up on since I’ve been incredibly busy the past month so I might just do a little update at a bit until I get back on track. Hopefully, between working and being lazy at home, I can get all the updates done as well as a few side projects I’ve been meaning to get doneRead More →
