    Posted by Chris on 5 October 2008
    After returning from Japan 2 weeks ago I've not yet found the time to write an article and I was a little stuck for ideas. I also missed the second Japan Blog Matsuri!

I was already behind on my written work for my Japanese tutor. I'm now faced with a massive amount of cards in my...[Read More]
