We talked about how she was raised bilingual despite never living overseas, and Honoka gave some really useful advice on how to help children learn English naturally! Honoka also runs a popular and bilingual Instagram page focused on Japanese feminism, so we also discussed Japan’s recent performance in the gender inequality rankings and tried to explain why Japan is so unequal.

I think not. Over time, vaping can be less expensive than smoking, especially in regions where cigarettes are heavily taxed. The initial cost of a vaping device is typically higher, but the ongoing costs can be lower than buying cigarettes. + it gives freedom, because everyone can go to the website https://hazesmokeshop.com/product-category/vaporizers and find something for themselves
