      Writing my personal statement for uni. If I made it more Japan specific I would have gotten into SOAS :(

      Simple answer: It was awesome.

      You learn a lot being in an office environment. It's nice to see what actually goes on and how publishing corporations work. Was a good insight into journalism as a whole.

      Blessing and a curse.

      Being the one unicorn in a heard of normal horses tends to get you noticed. Noticed means networking. Networking means getting work. Getting work out there means slowly getting into journalism. This is great...

      BUT

      I'm very sure a lot of the geek/games/tech journalism offices are mainly men and that means they are less willing to hire female talent because 1) a lot are old fashioned and still feel that woman know less than men do and 2) they like the lad-mag culture they have in the official already.

      I've not had any real issue when it comes to professional outlets, more smaller gigs run by men who are probably still sore over the ladies getting to vote. It's not often you encounter it but it DOES happen.

      Not fluent but I went to school in Chiba (Japan) for a bit in 2005. I used to be very conversational but now I'm limited :(

      This was back in ... 2008 maybe? I just randomly stumbled on it and ended up used it a little bit :) Didn't think it would get huge at all but I'm happy to be proved wrong.
