Post no. 100!

This is my first blog ever, never considered writing a "dear diary" kind of thing and posting it on the internet anyway. When I decided to go to Japan however, I felt like writing something as a document for myself and for my friends, but also for anyone out there who`s be interested in it. Not too much of the "dear diary..." type of stuff, but still somewhat personal without being emotionally exhibitionist. So this intention then turned into this blog.
Well, I hope I have somehow achieved my goal to create something that is enjoyable to read and provides some insight into life in Japan or at least my view on it. I am still enjoying writing the blog in any case. Sometimes I draft posts and don`t seem to be able to finish them really (there are still some old ones in the draft bucket), sometimes I just write very spontaneously and fast. I think pictures are key to make the blog attractive, so I try to come up with some visual support as well. Sometimes I take pictures having a future blog post in mind, sometimes I write a post and then have to find a matching picture. To the people who keep pressing me for more posts: Thank you for your interest, I appreciate. But compared to other blogs I am reading I do post quite frequently. Also I do not always have time or something interesting to tell, so I`d rather not post than bore the hell out of everyone...
This is my 100th blog post, so I felt compelled to write something auto-reflective. I am very appreciative of the people who read the blog on a regular basis and write me e-mails with comments, corrections (name spelling like "Kappellbruecke" or how was that again ;-) and suggestions. Please feel free and welcome to continue to do so! And I`ll do my best to keep up writing...
