I’d love to feature you! All I would need is a paragraph or so, maybe a picture, about your favorite place in Japan. Here are some links to previous posts I’ve made in the series. If interested, please email me at kaleyjapan@gmail.com! Thanks! It sounds like you're getting ready for a new, exciting adventure, though. So I understand if you don't have the time. :)<br /><br />http://www.kaleyinjapan.com/2011/06/what-japan-bloggers-have-to-say-about.html<br />http://www.kaleyinjapan.com/2011/06/what-japan-bloggers-have-to-say-about_21.html<br />http://www.kaleyinjapan.com/2011/06/what-japan-bloggers-have-to-say-about_27.htmlKaleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552865799931372333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047592645785906566.post-80246217515040571462011-06-24T13:36:39.387+09:002011-06-24T13:36:39.387+09:00Firstly, to the first Anonymous poster - sorry. I ...Firstly, to the first Anonymous poster - sorry. I specifically used "I believe" to mean that I thought it was true but did not actively go out and research it. Still, the list that you posted puts Japan in the top 5, and further reading will show you that it is a significant problem. The number of people affected by the Tohuku disaster sadly make it seem that this figure will only increase. <br /><br />To the positive comments - thank you! I do indeed plan on blogging from Prague. I'll start up a new one once I think of a name more imaginative than "Gwynnie Goes Prague"... I intend to travel around Europe a fair bit, too. Exciting! Also, I will continue to post on this blog for a while longer, as I have other things to talk about and other adventures that I never got around to writing up!Gwyneth Hamannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061967676436276862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047592645785906566.post-3582150910274994622011-06-23T05:53:48.549+09:002011-06-23T05:53:48.549+09:00Hi, Gwynnie!
I've been "stalking"...Hi, Gwynnie! <br /><br />I've been "stalking" your site ever since you and a host of others began teaching in Japan. I had aspirations to travel and teach in Japan as well, but alas, life events and decisions kept me grounded where I am in California. However, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts, and the links to other blogs/bloggers who are your friends and acquaintances. Thank you for all the posts, and here's wishing you good luck with your next travel/teaching adventure in Prague! It's a gloriously beautiful city; I visited Prague about two years ago and truly enjoyed the city, its history, and architecture. I'm really looking forward now to reading about your experiences in the Czech Republic!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DaniDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18155443747814356153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047592645785906566.post-23994394786101501992011-06-22T23:01:07.523+09:002011-06-22T23:01:07.523+09:00OMG Prague, I'd love to go there.

After putting a lot of effort into learning Japanese it becomes quite depressing when you eventually realize its all for nothing. They only want to talk to you for the sake of practicing their (usually bad) English. You can feel it during conversation with them, they just want practice as much of their English knowledge as possible. Talking bullsh1t for the sake of talking English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047592645785906566.post-64037936478761161892011-06-22T15:24:34.213+09:002011-06-22T15:24:34.213+09:00Perhaps you should do some research before trollin...Perhaps you should do some research before trolling on a site that someone has put a lot of effort into.<br /><br />"However, this figure is somewhat disputed since it is arguably capped by the conservative definition of "suicide" that has been adopted by the Japanese authorities, which differs from the WHO's definition.Some people thus suggest a rather larger figure of 100,000 suicides a year"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047592645785906566.post-62485292245235070062011-06-22T15:15:08.756+09:002011-06-22T15:15:08.756+09:00>Something mentioned casually with an "I b...>Something mentioned casually with an "I believe" added to the end is for certain inflammatory due to my lack of common sense and my need for a pointless argument.<br /><br />You mad, bro?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1047592645785906566.post-57212130595365535942011-06-22T14:44:10.006+09:002011-06-22T14:44:10.006+09:00Sorry but Japan isn't the world's highest ...Sorry but Japan isn't the world's highest suicide rate.
