If you are a foodie you must come to Karatsu!

Image
I'm a big foodie and love to cook. I'm content I came across a small city with a population of just 110,000, in Saga Prefecture in Kyushu. I talked about it already in these two posts. What I love about Karatsu, Saga. I moved to a fishing city near Fukuoka, Karatsu. If you are a foodie, or a cook especially fond of seafood, don't miss out on Karatsu. I think it has the potential to become the San Sebastian of Japan, and it is already going in that direction. The locals don't really know their potential I was stunned when I stopped by at Umakamon Ichiba , which translates to "Market of delicious things" in Saga Dialect. The big space of Saga Beef and all the seafood. Even local vegetables and fruits are sold in a very reasonable price. This led me to settle in Karatsu, and work for the market. I'm again stunned how the workers fillet the fishes. To them the whole city does the same thing, so it's nothing that special. But for me, I'm amazed by the t...

I feel Bushido left in Karatsu.

 I'm in my 5th month in Karatsu, and I've recognized something interesting. There is a little bit of Bushido left in Karatsu. Back about 400 years, a samurai lord wanted to expand to the continent and gathered his troops in Karatsu from across Japan. The Daimyo lords put their temporary houses, temples, and cultures here so that's probably one reason why I feel a bit of Bushido left in the Karatsu people. There are mainly 3 reasons I felt bushido in the city. 1. Karatsu Castle My daily walking course includes Karatsu Castle.  When I head towards the castle, there is a volunteer uncle that is taking care of the trees planted to protect Karatsu from the ocean waves. The way he talks, somehow resembles the samurais I see on tv dramas. When he learned that I grew up in California and from outside of town, but love Karatsu, he vowed and told me to be careful on the way to the castle. He emphasized that the stairs are steep and could cause injury, so I need to be careful. But the...

How my view towards failing changed

Image
  My first business didn't work out well. It did take me a while for me to recover mentally and financially. But 3 years in and I look back that it's not a big deal to make mistakes. It actually helps you to reflect on it, and gives you hints on how you could improve. Without failing it's difficult to improve and become better. It's about how you view and act towards failure that is crucial.  The more mistakes you make earlier in life the better Before starting the business, I always seemed to have the pressure that I had to succeed. Or to be right and correct all the time. But actually it's the opposite. I need to make a lot of mistakes, and learn to get back up as fast as possible for the next challenge. I realized this when my mother kept repeating that "I failed my business" every time we talked on the phone. My mom sounded like it was the end of the world while I was beginning to think it might be the start of something new. Well, when you lose a lot ...
