Hi! This is owner Hazuki. Yesterday I went to a superb place, so allow me to brag about it tell you why you definitely should go! ラ コルドベッサ （La Cordobesa） 【Location】 Closest tram stop: Koamicho (This is a tram stop without a platform à You have to get on board on the road. Please be […]
Konnichiwa, this is owner Hazuki! Tapioca is so hot these days. Originally from Taiwan, tapioca milk tea (or bubble tea) is now loved all over the world, including in Japan. But hey, I liked it before it was cool!! When I was in high school, I used to drink bubble tea a lot around Shinjuku […]
Written by Peter I remember being a kid at Cheremoya Elementary School in Hollywood, California, back in the 80’s. Gross stuff, like all kinds and colors of gum stuck under the school chairs and desks, or the bathrooms always having wet floors and smelling of poop when some kid figured flushing was too much work […]
Written by Peter Toothbrush? Check. Passport? Check. Reasonably clean underwear that I may have to flip inside out in case I can’t find a washing machine? Double check. Getting ready to travel is always an exciting, if not somewhat anxiety-filled moment. Deciding where you want to go this time around is such a fun experience. […]
Written by Peter An Open Letter to Hazuki: Dear Hazuki, Genkidesuka? Is everything well with you? How has Evergreen been going lately? Any new tourists coming in and asking others to follow them on Instagram (inside joke, but feel free to ask her about it). Any wonderful and weird and completely and unnecessarily perverted (it […]
オーナーのはづきです！きょうは近隣のコインランドリーの紹介。 Hi I am the owner Hazz. Today I am introducing LAUNDROMATS nearby in the area around my hostel! ホステル内にもコインランドリー置いているんですが、ドライのほうがどうもちょっと弱い。 電気のやつなので、大型のガスタイプと比べるとどうしても乾きが悪いですの。すみませんね。 （それでもTシャツやタオル数枚とか全体量が多くなければ全然問題ないですけどもね） Of course there is a laundy inside my hostel, but the issue is our dryer is not so strong because we are using electricity, not gas. Gas dryer is much more stronger, you […]
Hi. This is Hazuki, the owner! Yesterday was such an incredibly hot day! The weather was so nice that it almost became suspicious. I went outside and took a leisurely stroll along the river. Sweat was flowing profusely. Along the way, I was flustered as I suddenly bumped into this giant, pelican-like bird. This bird […]
Found In Translation 2 by Peter (Here is Part 1) What started out as a weekly lesson on Korean turned into a complete shift and transformation in my goals and ambitions. Rather than being content with where I was at culturally and geographically and as a person, I felt the urge, no, the need, to reach […]
Found In Translation 1 by Peter Watashi no name wa Peter desu. (My name is Peter.) Anata wa totemo yasashii desu. (You are very kind.) Onaka ga peko peko desu. (I’m hungry.) Before I sat down and actually, genuinely tried to learn Japanese a couple of years ago, these were the very few phrases that […]
Written by Peter, Evergreen guest. 2018, Golden Week. I had decided to visit Fukuoka for a few days. I had been there before, and knew there was a really cool place called City Canal Hakata, a massive, multi-winged, indoor-outdoor mall hybrid. Tons of stores and restaurants, as well as an IMAX theater up on top. […]
