About me

Gender Female
Location SF & Tokyo
Introduction I'm just a girl who can't say "no" ... because life without endeavor is like entering a jewel-mine and coming out with empty hands. So join me in my blog to uncover some gems you might not otherwise know about. I've tried to document original sources for everything. But remember the ancient Japanese saying while you're reading, "If you believe everything you read, better not read." Most of the stuff I've seen myself in Tokyo and elsewhere. But the Internet sometimes distorts details a bit. And I do put in my own opinions too which you may not agree with. So do your own research before making any investments in anything I show you here.
