Walking home from another miniature disaster yesterday and was thinking more on writing when in Japan. I’m unlikely to nab a writing side-gig without any portfolio of sorts.. so I’ll probably create a new blog to document my upcoming experience on the rural rejuvenation programme.

I thought of resuscitating my previous Japan related blog (Bushido Dreams) but that was a different time, focussing mainly around my exchange year in Okayama. I’ll still pop random Japan related posts there but for the journalling of our new lives I think a new blog is best.

.. anyway, as I was walking home the name of said blog popped into my head.. it merits explanation (so that you find it just as hilarious-ish as I).. The programme name (地域お越し協力隊) in Roman characters would be something like ‘chiiki okoshi kyōryokutai’ .. so.. the blog name will be ..

Drumroll

.. The KyōryokuTimes

.. BOOM!

.. no I will not get my jacket, I am absurdly pleases with this name.
