I’ve been everywhere, man
Welcome to my blog, Where No Mangoes!
This blog began as a record of my sabbatical from teaching in 2024: a comic travelogue of an 8.5-month break from teaching at Temple University for travel and work on my new book on satire. It was a satire-batical.
Now the blog is back in action, as I am abroad again to teach at Temple University in Japan’s newly opened campus in Kyoto. The second iteration is here: Where No Mangoes: Kyoto.
To navigate around this blog, here are the Sections. In addition to the semi-regular blog posts listed a bit below, which you can subscribe to, there’s also:
The About Page –About the author
Travel Log – Where I stayed
Extras To Read All About 2025 – The Above and Beyond regarding Japan 2025
Extras To Read All About 2024 – Stuff that didn’t end up in a post in my 2024 blogs
Index to Posts: Hawaii, S Korea, China, Italy, England – Jump to 2024 posts by country.
Now with navigation to the next or previous post because I finally found those buttons!
By the way, your comments are really appreciated! Once you have typed them into the Comments box, I have to click to approve them, and that sometimes takes a little time.
It’s as close as we can achieve here to a real bureaucracy.
