Today, it's a special GUEST POST from Jessica from Turquoise Compass. I feel very privileged to have been approached by Jessica to contribute a guest post. It's on a country and a part of the world I have never been to (naturally I am extremely jealous) - Guyana, South America. So, I will turn it …

Hi everyone I wasn't going to blog at all today, I am trying to restrict myself to five posts a week although at the moment it's six, when I finally start working (it's coming!) then I think five will be about the maximum I can manage. But I have a free afternoon and I thought …
Howdy all! My latest Short Journeys is out on Amazon! After some feverish editing and at one point the original file disappearing completely from my computer (yes, it wasn't a great moment), the latest of my ebooks is out for Amazon Kindle. The Short Journeys series books are full of anecdotes, experiences, opinions and reviews …

Before I moved to Japan to live for two years, I spent three months at the end of 2011 in the Republic of Georgia teaching English with Teach Learn Georgia (TLG) in a remote village in the west of the country. It was a brilliant three months, and in June or July I will be …
I’m continuing for a few more weeks my regular Saturday spot – ‘The Japanese Survival Guide’, and today I wanted to look a bit at the Japanese language, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, if you are headed to Japan it will help to know a couple of useful phrases, but also, to someone who’s …
After the excitement of crawling through a tunnel created by lava, we headed around to the Sakik Iyashi no sato NENBA, as the brochure says. In Englished, it calls the place the ‘Thatch Roof Village’. Today it is a basically an open-air museum costing around 1000 yen to enter. You can go from thatched house …
For those who have followed this blog for a while – I mean back in its earlier form on blogger as well as here on Word Press, you will know that there is a bane in my life – that is Mount Fuji. No, we are not bitter enemies or anything, I haven’t been attacked …
