Poll

Does anyone still read this blog?

Well, I've been thinking... So many years have passed that I don't know what should I keep posting anymore. I mean, this blog started as a way for my Brazilian friends read what I was doing in Himeji. Now the public is more diverse, but then I'm lost on what they'd like to read about.

A quick glance here made me notice that posts fall usually in four basic categories. I'd like to ask you to leave a mail or comment saying what are your preferences. Or if it's something completely different. There will be examples based on previous posts for reference.

1 - Personal stories. Things that happen in my life. Like when I was having problems with my plane to go to Kyoto or trying to find activities (sports, arts) there.

2 - Interesting news I find around. For example, about some points of view related to English becoming the main international language or how people may change their behavior when shifting between languages.

3 - Trips, festivals and alike (usually with some pictures). Sakura blooming in Kyoto or my trip to Okinawa are some previous posts in this category.

4 - Curiosities and oddities I either find around or hear about, like some strange things I've heard from people who say they can speak some Portuguese or the weird vending machines in Japan (post in Portuguese).

As you may have noticed, the categories get intertwined pretty often. Still, I just want to know what should I keep as main objectives of this blog.

I think you should continue.
Write anything you desire, it's interesting your writting skill, you know that?

It's true that I don't have time or even remember some days to (those very busy and stressing ones) visit not only yours, but any friends and other blogs that I usually like to read and "accompany" (don't remember the right word in this meaning)

The most interesting ones is the behaviour changings of people when speaking foreign languages! =D It's really nice!

See ya!

Hmm.... curiosities, personal stories, interesting news or trips and alikes. What to chose?

Personal stories and oddities are really funny to read. Interesting news are good stuff. Trips and alikes are good to know what to do if I were in Japan. I think you can go throughout the 4 categories every time you write. For example, write something from categ. 1, than the other post from categ. 2, and so on. The funniest thing is not to stay attached to only one subject.

And yes, I'm not reading your blog that much, because I'm still living at the company's house. But I intend to move soon. When I find a place, I'll install a internet conection. Then, I'll read it oftenly. (And maybe I would write something in my "left to spider's web" blog. =P).

See ya
