A kerosene heater to warm up the teacher's room because central heating does not exist in Japan. There's usually a kettle or a bowl of water on top of it to humidify the room. (At least that's what I think it's for.)

Feb. 09: 12 of 12
When I first arrived in Japan, I took my camera with me everywhere. I remember exploring my neighbourhood and taking pictures of the houses because they were SO Japanese and my goodness, I haven't seen anything like it! Of course, the novelty wore out a month in and I was no longer taking pictures of mundane things. Fast forward six months when I realized that time seems to run 10x faster in Japan and before I knew it, I would be leaving the country. Last year on this day, in attempt to capture a day of my life in Japan, I did the 12 of 12.

Welcome!
A little bit about myself and what to expect. I am a:
+ World Traveller. I recently spent 16 months teaching English in Japan and traipsing through South East & East Asia. I regret not having a blog to capture the moments as it happened so I will be doing it retroactively as I reminisce through my pictures.
+ Food Lover. I am currently unemployed and to entertain myself, I cook, bake and eat my way out of boredom. Expect food entries.
+ Amateur Photographer. I purchased a DSLR for Christmas and will be posting pictures as I learn how to use my camera. It will mostly be food photography though.
I'm hoping to post at least once a week. I'm setting this goal because I am a procrastinator and will most likely abandon this blog if I don't set a goal. Plus, I have way too much free time on my hand to not be able to post once a week.
Enjoy the journey.
