Things That Changed on Nishitsu This Week
There were two things this week.
Our Twitter followers passed 2,000
Nishitsu will celebrate its first anniversary on December 14. Before that, I was thinking it would be nice if we could hit a nice round 2,000 followers, and then we did.
Our Facebook page reached 5,000 likes.
Just like with Twitter, I was thinking it would be great if we could reach 5,000 likes, and then we did!!
These days, it feels like each week is flying by faster and faster.
On Saturday the 14th, Nishinomiya Tsushin will mark one year since the site launched. Thanks to all our readers and the members who have supported us, we’ve been able to keep going until now!
We’ll keep running Nishinomiya Tsushin in our usual relaxed way as a fun and interesting site about Nishinomiya, so we hope you’ll continue to follow along. And if you could help spread the word about Nishitsu too, we’d be absolutely thrilled.
