About 2 months ago, a writer from the Kansai Scene magazine mailed me and asked why I blogged. Lo and behold, in the June edition, I have a small blurb and a picture of my webpage on page 7! You can see my lovely about picture quite clearly. This magazine is a free pickup around town. I found out my response was actually used when a couple people mentioned they saw me in the magazine. My lifelong dream of being published has finally come true.
Here’s a scan. My pic was in the gutter of the spread so there’s a big line running through. My written response is on the top right. A clearer picture is here.
The entire response that was printed was,
(Why do you blog?)
“Officially, it’s a way for my friends and family to keep up with what I’m doing in Japan. I can post anecdotes and adventures about Japan and then have responses and queries through comments. I like putting up pictures taken from my keitai to show how fascinating and weird Japan can be.”
I’m adding a couple seconds to my fifteen minutes of fame!
