FAVE POSTS
These are my favourite posts and why…
Dinner at Singapore Seafood Republic in Tokyo
Not only was this a rare treat, but it also generated quite a bit of traffic for my blog. Glad to know that chilli crab is so popular, even far away from home.
My tai tai getaway
It was my first time tagging along with the kangaroo on a business trip — I loved exploring Seoul and Beijing on my own. Another tidbit: this post is usually found by those who use ‘Wentworth Miller’ in their keyword search.
First anniversary
This is a reflective piece on the lessons I learned after living in Tokyo for one year.
Why I prefer web writing to print media
Just my thoughts on how the face of journalism is changing and it gives a sneak peek at what I do everyday.
Are foreign women safe in Japan?
Here, I discuss a few social issues that concern the Asian female expat in Japan.
Loneliness versus solitude
This one is dangerously close to being a pity party but it was a genuine snapshot of how tough it was in the beginning figuring out how to deal with being a trailing partner in a foreign country.
My first hostile encounter here
Not in any way representative of Japanese people or culture, I chose this article as a favourite because it made my friends roar with laughter.
Watashino kurasu
I feel a little nostalgic when I look at this one as I spent a good nine months in 2007 with the same bunch of peeps grappling with complex Japanese grammar and kanji.
Onsen indulgence
This is the only entry that has pictures of a delicious kaiseki dinner at a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn). It was certainly unforgettable and by far the best onsen experience ever — 23 hot baths to choose from, not counting the private one in our room.
