Thank you for those who participated in the TKE 2011 giveaway contest!
I received 75 entries and as promised, 2 Best Contributed Prize winners and 1 Thank-you prize winner will receive an email from me within 24 hours, and they will be asked to give me their posting address to receive the prize.
Congratulations!!

Things I learned from the giveaway survey…
It’s a pity some people are having problems loading the blog or the videos, but nearly 80% of the people have no problem, according to the giveaway question no.1. Some people suggested that I should change the theme and make the website look more simple. I’d love to do so if I can cope with the technical issues. I don’t know if it’s possible to change the design drastically. Sorry for the inconvenience. But I’ll try to do something for the people who have to wait a long time to load TKE.

Oh, it was nice to know that more than 80% of the people who entered the giveaway contest are interested in learning Japanese. When I write in Japanese, that should be accompanied with English writing, so please don’t worry! I will not write a full Japanese post in this blog. ^ ^;; I can choose a random post that has only some part both in English and Japanese. That was what I meant in the question. OK, also I’ll try to make more Japanese speaking videos if you like them.

Actually it’s not always easy for me to make a video but I’m trying to get used to that more from now on. ^ ^ It was nearly 70% of people that prefer reading a post in TKE blog than watching my video on Youtube. Even if I start to make more Youtube videos in the future, that won’t mean that I will close down the blog or stop it completely. But anyhow, I don’t know how long I can continue this blog. :p

I wish to take a video to show around the inside of cute shops for example. But basically recording (or even taking photos) is not allowed at most of the shops in most of the time over here.

I’ve read all the entries thoroughly, wrote down what my readers have to say, and keep it in a file. This is a great motivator to me. ^ ^ Thank you!! (That’s why giveaway contest is good to me too!)

Again, thank you for participating in the TKE giveaway 2011, I hope to hold the giveaway again this time next year. (If the TKE blog becomes more popular, I could hold giveaway contests more often though…)

I will send out the email to the 3 winners and promptly prepare for the prizes.

Thank you for reading and supporting TKE blog! ^___^
kind regards,
Kirin
