I read your post about it and I would say that overwhelmed me quite a bit. Having read Ms. Ozeki’s book, I was shocked to read about how brutal bullying is. Anyway, I’ve been reading your posts. Consider me as another follower :)

Then I came across your blog and was immediately entranced by your articles. All of a sudden, I’ve become greatly interested in Japanese culture. Fuck my assignment, I’m going to continue reading your blog!

I reblogged your recent post, “41 things I like about Japan,” because you have validated a couple posts I wrote recently. Anyways, keep up the writing and good luck in the UK.

HSBC Expat are launching their 2013 Expat Explorer which is the world’s largest survey of expats.
We have never had enough respondents from expats in Japan to include the country in the survey. This year we are really keen to get enough expatriates in Japan to fill out the survey so we can compare expat life in Japan compared to other places in the world.

The survey can be accessed on this link here: https://start.yougov.com/refer/vRD0NSVf5blrCX

If we can get enough respondents to include the country then I will be happy to send you the findings from the survey when we publish later this year which I am sure will be of interest to your readers. If you are interested I can email you the press release we sent out at the launch of the survey.

All the best,
Tess
