I’d like to take a bit of time out from the usual inane tittle-tattle to thank everyone who kindly nominated me for the 2005 Bloggies. Sadly I don’t know who you are, but thank you very much all the same.
It was a very nice surprise indeed to hear I’d been nominated, but that was nothing compared to how I felt when informed that Tokyo Times had actually made it as a finalist in the Best Asian Weblog category. Considering the wealth of quality blogs throughout the region, I can only assume that many nominations simply went missing. There doesn’t appear to be any other explanation, and a quick gander at a few of those linked to from this site proves the point perfectly.
But worthy or not, I’m still on the list. And you know what’s coming next don’t you? Yes, if you wouldn’t mind (and providing you think I deserve it) a vote would be much appreciated. Clicking here will take you directly to the site, and even if you aren’t voting it’s worth a peek for the sheer variety of blogs on show.

It’s through that nomination site that I came here originally. I rather enjoy the humourus approach to the life in Japan (plus I’m aiming to go to Japan myself… which is why such blogs are handy :p).

Congratulations to you! This is my first time to your blog and I’m lovin’ it! Keep up the great work!
I lived in Japan for 6.5 years, so this stuff really hits “home” for me.
