polackstravels: I went to Kashiwazaki to see the fireworks tonight!  They were pretty rad! Here is a short clip from the show… this wasn’t even the finale!  This was just one of several segments like this! And, to be clear, the ones exploding from the ground were actually fired into the ocean, and were exploding upward from the water! I’ll reblog myself, just because it is damn pretty.

On a Certain Failing...

[[MORE]] A retrospective.  Over the last year, I have learned ever so much.  My Japanese has gone from being near non-existant, to being somewhat usable.  I have seen things, traveled across the world, moved to a country where I did not speak the language, and started a job in which I had no practical experience.  Moreover, so did I meet people from all across the world, some of whom...
