  • I also only read English for a long time instead of my own language.

    I picked up some books in my native language and was pleasantly surprised.

    The language in itself doesn’t matter but I could notice the writer was from my culture. There’re slight cultural references in books written by people from my culture.

    In books from American writers theres also these cultural references which I understand because I grew up on the internet but still it’s not my culture.

    I would recommend to check if you’re country/culture has some literature award prizes and check out some of the top books. Make sure to try a couple as a well reviewed book might not mean it’s a good fit for you.






  • Like the other comments say it’s an app which prompts users to post a picture at “the same” time. Its not actually the same time due to timezones.

    The idea behind it is that you don’t ge to pick the perfect time for a pic when you’re at that great location or you’re looking especially cute. This means you’ll get an insight in the real life of someone.

    Practically that means you’ll just see a lot of pictures of your friends whilst they’re laying on the couch 2 feet deep in a bag of crisps.


  • Thanks for answering. That seems like a logical explanation. After having thought about this some more I’ve decided not to prebook my train ticket as it’s going to cause sone stress as I don’t know exactly how long customs and getting my bags is going to take. There’s too many variables to accurately determine the time of departure from Shinagawa. It seems that the Hikari Shinkansen on the Tokaido line is going pretty regularly.

    I’ll look up digital Suica card, seems to me it could come in handy.

    Edit: The digital Suica card can only be added if the region for the phone is set too Japan.
