Listen: punk rock agitates, but it always has something to say. Ever since it cursed and spat its way into the beige and regimented mindset of the mid-70s, it’s been loud in calling out the bullshit and challenging the rules.
During my linguistics and language studies, there turned out to be several surprising crossovers between how you approach language and how you can approach life and the people around you.
A while ago I was very fortunate to be selected to travel to Japan, representing New
Zealand, at the Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar, in Kōhoku, a town in Saga Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan.
As the water temperature cools down over winter, you may notice New Zealand fur seals, or kekeno, returning to the rocky shores around the Coromandel Peninsula.
