| Me in Shirakawago, Japan |
What is your real name because I see both Jenny and Akika floating around?
My real name is Jenny Ge but as I've always been envious of people with unique names so I wanted one of my own. Whether at school, work or socially, there were always many Jennys so I came up with this Japanese sounding name that I use more as a nickname. It has grown on me since and I use it sometimes when I feel like being more anonymous.
When did you start blogging and why?
My first official food related post was in October 2010. Although I entered the food scene quite late compared to a lot of people, it's really never too late for anything, especially when it's so fun and worthwhile. It started when I bought my first DSLR camera (prior to that I was taking bad photos of food with my old Canon point and shoots) and fell in love with what I saw. I love food and I love travel and now I'm in love with photography so starting this blog was a win-win situation. I could record all my food and travel journeys along with a few rantings here and there. I know I've been a little slack with writing (life gets the better of me sometimes) but I'm trying hard to write everyday now so hopefully I can keep it up!
How did you come up with Ichigo Shortcake as your blog name and what does it mean?
Ichigo means 'strawberries' so together it means strawberry shortcake. This was the first name that came to mind when I started this blog. I got the idea from this classic Japanese drama called SOS or "Strawberry on the Shortcake" that I loved watching when I was in high school.
