best-of instagram posts
I've used instagram throughout my whole japanese immersion journey, to meet other like-minded learners and log my progress. However, it's kind of a transient medium so it's easy for posts to get lost. Here's an archive of links to my favourite posts I've made on instagram, organised by theme.
