Shashingo helps you learn Japanese through photography and I'd like it now please
Right so, picture this
Despite being half Japanese, I know very, very little of the language. It pains me, it really does. Occasionally I get this urge to learn it, and lately it's bubbled up because I'm planning on jetting over there next year [laughs in covid]. Unfortunately, all my efforts at self-study have gone down the pan.
I've tried learning Japanese using audio courses and textbooks, but my …

The Amazing American Circus review: I hate to say it, but there are better shows in town
Not so big top
By the time Henry Ford rolled up to see my show, I was ready to pack my trunk and say goodbye to the circus. I’d been ready a long time ago, truth be told, some time between inciting industrial action amongst JP Morgan’s workers and nabbing an automaton from Tesla.
