5 Years
Happy New Year, 2013.
Exactly, 5 years ago, we landed in Tokyo on January 1, 2008 to begin our wonderful Japanese adventure – it seems like yesterday. We stayed for 2 1/2 years and have had many wonderful, unforgettable memories. We consider Japan our second home!
Around the same time, I started this blog titled “Konnichiwa: My excellent Japanese adventure”. After 5 years, this blog has:
- 720 posts (averaging just under 3 posts/week)
- Over 2,600 comments
- Almost 300,000 views
When we left Japan to return home to Canada 2 1/2 years ago, I have continued this blog, although with less regular posts since we have had no new experiences in Japan. So now, instead of experiences living and working in Japan, I am posting about Japanese books and movies, as well as older pictures that I have taken before. I am not exactly sure what the future of this blog, but I am still very much interested in Japan and the Japanese culture. There are a number of excellent Japanese related blogs (see my blogroll) if you are interest in this subject.
Konnichiwa 
Happy New Year to you, too!
You came to Japan on New Years Day?
I came to Japan on 1990 October 17th.
Also … congratulations on your blog’s fifth year!
Yes, my family and I flew and arrived on January 1, 1998 … and thanks.
1998? I think you subtracted too much 🙂
Happy new year 300,000 view is awesome Please keep it up
Thanks.
Congrats on making it to 5 years! Hope to see even more from you in the next 5.
Thanks.
Those are excellent stats! I am not surprised, though: this is a excellent blog. Glad it is still going strong!
