September's theme is "Tsukimi", literally meaning moon viewing. During mid-autumn (sometime in September), the moon would be its roundest and Japanese will eat dango (sweet rice dumpling) while admiring the moon. In the original Chinese culture, we would eat mooncakes instead. Taiwanese, on the other hand, prefer to barbecue.

I didn't know that Waseda University was so rich to purchase a property at Karuizawa, a popular summer retreat that is around 2.5 hours car drive away from Tokyo. Temperatures there were around 16-26 degrees whereas Tokyo was around 28-35 degrees. The guys who came here last year complained about the dirty shower rooms so they had to go to spa every night. But luckily for us, they just opened two new buildings so everything was clean and new. This was so much better than staying in those youth houses that my scholarship organization had arranged...  The only complain that I had was the shower room's location, which was at the cafeteria building and not in our dorm building (duh?). The guys had 5 shower cubicles but girls only had 2 (duh duh???). My sensei joked that maybe Waseda has a lot of guys...that shower for a long time...

Elderly in Japan and Singapore are very different! 日本語バージョン：

People who read " Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps " will know that when a woman starts to whine about her problems, she doesn't need solutions. She just need someone to agree with her and support her (sorry guys, you won't understand). After posting this comic on my Facebook page, I'd been flooded with so many suggestions from readers telling me what to do and many even assured me that if I do exactly what they said, I could soar to the skies! (if it's that easy I think there'll be no more poor artists in this world!!!) Well let me look back into the instances when I did follow people's suggestions: ------------------------------------ Suggestion (2007): Why don't you open a blog at wretch.cc? (a famous blogging platform in Taiwan) There are many artists drawing about their lives there. Some got so popular that publishers signed contracts with them!!! Action: Naively opened a Chinese comic blog and persevered for 3 ...

Based on friend's working experience in Japan, but exaggerated (he didn't play games in office :P ). While it's normal to work overtime till 7-8pm in Singapore, it's normal to work overtime till 11pm-1am in Tokyo... 日本語バージョン：

Photos of Singapore food flooded my Facebook wall last week because my school held a study trip to Singapore. So thanks to my friends, I developed a craving for our famous chicken rice so I decided to gather a few friends, who had studied in Singapore before, for a chicken rice lunch at Harajuku. But alas, we didn't know that even restaurants could close for the Obon Festival (around 15th Aug)!!! Japanese will go back to their hometown during Obon, something like hungry ghost festival of Singapore, where we go to our ancestor's grave to clean it up. Strange that all Japanese knows this but it's not on the calendar at all! (My university campus is closed for 1 week so I had to go somewhere unless I want to stay at home to meditate for a week).

That's why I only went to Comiket once ! 日本語バージョン：

Off to see Japanese baseball again but this time, it is a match between professional teams and not university players like last time .

 THEY ARE HUGE IN JAPAN!!! With that said, excuse me, I'm going to eat some snacks :P 日本語バージョン：
