What a wonderful way to start the new year, Zakia. Wishing you fertile recentering and planning, I'm so looking forward to what you'll share with us. (I'll be doing something very similar!)
I’ll be looking forward to whatever you do next. Your posts are quite enjoyable, no matter what the topic. It’s a treat to see Japan through your eyes.
Thank you for including me amongst such great writers! Excited to see what you do next: your missives have been like looking through a portal into another world. I’ve loved your perspective from the outside looking in, always a delight seeing Japan through your eyes.
I’ve really enjoyed your articles. Your perspective on all manner of different topics concerning Japan have been a welcome distraction over the last 6 months or so. Some of the articles have reminded me of the small and mundane things I experienced there. Look forward to your work in the future. From another kiwi reader.
Was so pleased to have found your Substack - have really enjoyed following along. I’ve loved your insights - how Japan is when coming to it from a western world view; and your stories from life in America. I’ve visited New York twice (and loved it and love how different it is from my home New Zealand/Aotearoa) and I’ve studied Japanese language/culture (and think I will visit one day) - so reading your stories touch my heart.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us - I hope to read more from you however it is you chose to write.
Thank you always, Zakia 🥰🤗
