Everything here is a continuation of what started at overoften.org.uk over 3 years ago. That original site was an experiment. A way of learning HTML, of sorting my thoughts, of keeping myself from being idle when I had lots of free time. It achieved all those things. What I want to do now is to achieve something more interactive.
Overoften is a nom de net that I also use over at Flickr, at Japundit, and various other sites. In real life, I’m Jon Climpson, an Englishman living in Japan.



Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose - i’m sure the quality writing + photography will continue on, even if the format has changed.
All the Best.
Cheers rem.
Evening Mr. C,
I like it very much.
The site that is…
Glad you approve.
I like this! Let me come back to catch up….! Im in the Tokai region… Japan blog surfing right now.
Hi, sir! I’m a new JET who’s arriving in Tamana in August. I just stumbled across your blog, and I imagine we’ll run into each other some time this year.
Hello. I’ve enjoyed reading your writing. Thank you.
I am trying to track down a reference in Will Ferguson’s book, Hitching Rides with Buddha, also known as Hokkaido Highway Blues, Hitchhiking Japan, etc. There is a reference in the book to one Paul Berger, who has written a book called “Kumamoto Diary.”
Trying to do a search for the mysterious Paul Berger has led me to your blogs. Are you related to him? Do you know what book Mr. Ferguson is referring to? Please contact me by email. Thank you!
