Letting in the Wind: Why Japanese Homes Struggle with Heat, Cold, and Global Warming
In the spare bedroom of my Japanese home, an electric piano sits in the corner. Although it came from a thrift store, it’s in nearly-pristine condition. I would love nothing more than to spend my free time developing my musical skills and practice.

What to wear in Japan (as a tourist)
When 97% of a country’s population consists of natural-born citizens, outsiders stick out like sore thumbs. Pair that with a cultural mindset of “community before individuality” and travelers don’t stand a chance of blending in.

The Introvert's Circle
I don’t make friends easily. I am an introvert through and through, much to the annoyance of my “golden-retriever-energy” husband. While he could spend hours chatting up every attendee at a party, I’d spend that time leaning against the wall, bouncing my knee with every second that dragged by. Social interaction will either energize you or drain you. I align myself with the latter.
