Japan

I write diet and exercise related columns for women. Occasionally, I dabble in social media like Pinterest. Before writing, I used to translate Japanese into English. Lately, I've come to realize the huge difference between translation and writing something that people actually going to read. That is translating something into a language, doesn't mean it's going to have the same impact on readers of other cultures, i.e. for best results build it from scratch.
