The feeling of natsukashii
Japanese people use natsukashii very often compared to the English "nostalgic", sometimes even several times a day.
Hi, I’m Sergio.
I’m from Spain, lived in the UK for seven years and came to Japan in 2012.
I majored in journalism in London and have been teaching English in Tokyo.
I like traveling, cycling, photography, movies, and spending time with friends.
I wrote articles about life in Japan as a foreigner and anything that I might find interesting.
My email is sergio.dom.jpn@gmail.com, by all means contact me about anything!

One of these traditions is Obon (お盆ぼん), a holiday that takes place in either mid July or mid August, depending on the region. However, the August date has become more common as of late, and this is when most people will have a few days off work.
