Awww too bad you switched to English, I enjoyed coming here because it was interresting to have a Frenchie write about his time in Japan :P

I understand why you did it though and I can assure you that you haven’t lost a reader.

Continuez à écrire au sujet de votre aventure excellente au Japon!

no, I don’t care about comments
actually, I don’t think I’ll translate more than the current first page of the blog
it’s too time-consuming and it would kill my search engine ratings with hundreds of 404’s (since I have to also translate the post slugs)

what about comments? do we have to go through a year or so of blogging and translate them?

Though I feel pointless to translate my useless comments

I’ve never felt that comfy writing anyway, and since I was brought up in an international school with all my classes taught in english, it never really was a “foreign language” to me.

And of course I have english speaking japanese friends, not that I look specifically for english speaking people but there’s 100% chance that they speak more english than french, whatever their level. So it makes sense for me to write here in english.

Won’t you miss the easiness and spiciness (if you still ever feel it / if you have ever felt it, now that you’re far (!) from home) of writing in one’s own language? Or is it that one can feel more comfy with writing in a new language than the native one ?
Anyhow, keep up the good work…
Bon courage !
