The end of the year and the start of the new year, is all lumped into one word in Japanese: "nenmatsu-nenshi." (年末年始) There are so many things to do! One of the biggest is planning of Bonenkai (忘年会 ) and Shin-nenkai (新年会) parties. How many do you need to attend?

Shogatsu Boke (正月ボケ) is a popular term around this time of year that refers to brain freezes happening during the first couple days of work. Forgetting meetings, tardiness, returning home to pick up neglected items are a common manifestation. Laugh it off with a 正月ボケ!

It's #Obon! (#お盆) The time to clean, set out lights, incense and flowers for the dearly departed, and tell historical tales and horror stories. However you celebrate it, even it's just a spooky clip on Youtube, I hope you make the most of the festivities this year. #Japan

It's a pity we won't be able to enjoy the matsuri this year like we usually do, but with O-bon on the calendar, we can still enjoy the hottest month of summer with spooky ghost tales that send welcome chills down the spine. This is August in Japan. #summerinjapan #august #8月

I feel like a lazy bum. When I wake up tomorrow, I will exercise, do all the things on my To Do List, clean the whole house top to toe, reply to all e-mails AND study. Yes. Tomorrow. Surely tomorrow.
