I'm working on a project where I'm documenting the pandemic and I would like to incorporate handwritten experiences, thoughts and feelings about the virus in my book. Those could be good/bad very short or long whatever your feeling!
If your interested and want to help me please let me know!
Here is an example:
On Sunday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian reacted to Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s recent offering to the controversial Yasukuni shrine. China and South Korea considered the shrine in Tokyo as a symbol of Japan’s World War ll military aggression as it honours 14 Japanese wartime leaders convicted as war criminals by an Allied tribunal as well as war dead. Lijjan criticises Japanese leader’s actions and called it a “negative action” and asked Tokyo to reflect on its war history.
The South Korean government “expresses deep regret that Japan’s government and congressional leaders have again dedicated an offering to the Yasukuni Shrine which glorify Japan`s past invasions,” the foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
Seoul urges Japanese leaders to show “humble and genuine reflection” of past events through action with the launch of a new cabinet.
With the two countries (Vietnam and Indonesia), we plan to exchange opinions over how to handle the regional and global impending agendas such as cooperation for realising a free and open Indo-Pacific South China Sea issues and North Korean situations.
Japanese Cabinet Secretary, Katsunobu Kato
South Korea and Japan have a history of strained ties owning to Japan’s 1910-1945 colonisation of the Korean peninsula, where as tensions between China and Japan started building recently since China sent is military ships around Japans islands called Senkaku island. The Chinese vessel remained there for the record time, symbolising the ownership claims and in doing so, directly provoked Japan. Hence, Japan has been trying to shore up support from other regionals powers to build a united front against China, through defence and trade deals. It’s recent agreements include military and economic ties with Vietnam and Indonesia.
On Sunday evening Suga flew to visit Vietnam. The visit marked Suga’s first trip abroad since he took over the office. His foreign policy clearly echoed Japanese intensions of building stronger military alliance with the South East Asian countries in order to strategically combat Chinese growing aggression in the region.
During the recent visit, Japanese Cabinet Secretary, Katsunobu Kato, said, “With the two countries (Vietnam and Indonesia), we plan to exchange opinions over how to handle the regional and global impending agendas such as cooperation for realising a free and open Indo-Pacific South China Sea issues and North Korean situations.”
Japanese PM is flowing the footsteps of his predecessor, Shinzo Abe, and has been under pressure from his ruling party members who expect Suga to take a tough stand against China. The key agenda of Suga’s Vietnam’s visit was to diversify Japan’s supply chain, just like India, and Australia, in order to establish parallel trading ties with other countries and reduce its dependence on China. The recent pandemic lockdown, which led to cutting supplies form China, made the nations realise the need for establishing alternative channels.
Right, so last year when I was travelling SE Asia with my friends, we landed on Koh Rong and met a woman. Lets say she was pretty unforgettable. Her name was Hannah and she was from Barnsley (North of England). She’d be in Cambodia for a few weeks, had spent all her money and lost ALL her possessions, including her Passport. She was in between jobs as we were leaving the island, lets say she found it hard to hold down a job....She was in her mid 30’s, definitely a lost soul and had curly brown hair.
My friends and I often talk about her, and wonder what happened to her. A long shot I know, does anyone know what happened to her? We met her in November so any sightings would be appreciated!
Really just want to know she’s safe/she got home back to England. She was a very vulnerable lady.
Thanks!
