I am looking for a jobs in translation. CHI>ENG and JP>ENG

(Dusts 5 years of dust off this blog) Hi. If you don’t remember me…I used tumblr to post English translations of Chinese Taobao releases, for EGL fans, hoping make purchasing pretty clothing from China more accessible to all. Fast forward, I am now a 27-year-old who has been retrenched due to the impact of Covid-19. I decided to be thick-skinned and creative in expanding my job search into my old translation blog, so, here I am! I can be contacted via milkylunacy (at) gmail (dot) com. If you happen to know places hiring full-time, translating and interpreting these language pairs, I am grateful for any job opportunities: Chinese to English Japanese to English Chinese: I am a heritage Mandarin speaker. Japanese: JLPTN2, and 2 years’ experience working as a tour guide in Japan. Location: I am currently in Japan, but I am open to ideas of relocating elsewhere. I possess legal VISA papers to work in Japan, expiring in 2023. Thank you for taking the time to read…and possibly a kind reblog? On account of the good old days? Haha. Stay safe and stay healthy everyone.

Old Style National Dress

We don’t consider bootleg to be political as such, but it can be a tool to bring a certain message across. Bootlegging a known name that people are already familiar with you can use its power to convey a different message.

HYPEPEACE

As part of my MA we were tasked with reviewing an exhibition, so of course, I wanted to find something fashion-related. My first port of call was the Fashion Space…

Visit: Arundel Castle

Ah, the eternal question, what to do when your parents come to visit? It’s that point at which you realise that the shoe is very firmly on the other foot. All those hours they must have spent wondering what to do with you on a rapidly approaching bank holiday. How to keep you busy, how to entertain you, how to get you to shut the hell up for just two goddam minutes…

Well, that honour is now…
