Life in Kana-text (er… CONtext)
With regard to writing, I'm having trouble transitioning, from "travel reporting" (where every day had activities---and photos---to report) back to every-day-life, where the things I might write about tend to be happening more in my head.

A supermoon sounds like an extra-special honeymoon kind of trip, right? Because that’s exactly what we’re having.
