Bloggers Recognition Award

This award was like a bolt from the blue !

Thanks a lot Vanessa of wanderlustplusone for this recognition.

Vanessa has a nice flow of thoughts & puts things across very clearly. It is a pleasure reading her posts especially the ones about Japan. Even though I have been living here for quite some time I am in awe at the number of places she & her family have visited. I guess even the locals out her have not visited the places she has.

I will also be recommending others for the next round of the awards as below, and the rules for them accepting the award are as follows:

1. Give thanks to the person who had nominated you and a link to their blog.
2. Write a post to show your award.
3. Briefly tell how you started blogging.
4. Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
5. Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award.
6. Comment on the nominated blogs and let them know you have nominated them and give a link to the post you have created.

How did I start blogging :

Well, after the Rio Olympics focus shifted to the next venue – Tokyo. Many are skeptical about travelling to this part of the world due to a lot of reasons. So, I started sharing my experiences to help others get a better perspective of what life has to offer here in Tokyo. I hope by providing my insight, everyone can have an enjoyable, affordable & worthwhile trip.

Two pieces of advice for new bloggers : 

1. Consistency should be your mantra.

2. Adii Pienaar, founder of PublicBeta said ~ write for yourself first & foremost. Ignore the fact that anyone else will read what you write; just focus on your thoughts, ideas, opinions and figure out how to put those into words. Write it and they will come.
