Whoopee, I’m a day late to post this, but I’m back. With an ancient Japanese folklore no less. But before anything else, I’d like to make it clear that the following isn’t so much retold as it was retyped. I happen to have a copy of Richard Gordon Smith’s Ancient Tales and Folk-lore of Japan [...]

Out of boredom and interesting newfound insights, I’ve decided to write a list of all the places I’d like to visit in this lifetime. Some of you might say I’m adventurous after reading this, but then I’d prefer to be known as artistic. Lol.
