    A long time ago, I wrote about how I must have a doppelganger in Fukuoka. But then I went to Okinawa and learned that I must have a doppelganger in Okinawa, too. Conclusion: It is confirmed that I have a doppelganger or two in Kyushu.

    Groped in Japan

    Flight route

    Any female that’s been to Japan will tell you they’ve been groped before or at the very least, witnessed a groping or know of someone who experienced it. Me? I experienced it and I’m going to talk all about it today.

    Hidden Beauty at the South Coast Botanic Garden

    Floral and fauna

    I’ve always wondered why people bother with having an annual membership at a garden but here, at the South Coast Botanic Garden, it makes sense. You have the place to yourself when it’s not busy. And even when it’s busy, there’s ample space around as well as the option to come back another time for “free”. You don’t have to rush and each time you visit, you can easily catch sight of things you hadn’t noticed before.
