I couldn't be without the BBC Food website. You can input the ingredients that you have and it will give you a list of recipes you can cook. I am pregnant and therefore have special dietary requirements which the website takes into consideration.

One website I enjoy is reddit.com. It's a kind of social website where a huge variety of subjects are discussed and links are shared. It's also very informative for life in Tokyo. It has a large Japan section and the number of foreign users is increasing.

I sometimes get lost, and Google Maps is so useful. The app on my smartphone is fantastic and makes life so much easier. I used to carry around large maps and they were awkward and difficult to use. Now it's easy.

I can only say yahoo.com, as I use it as a hub for so many other things online. I use it to access Facebook, email, news and sports. I have all my bookmarks there too. Also, I can watch ESPN, which is absolutely necessary in football season.

I love Yahoo Answers. Japan has a large community of people who use Yahoo Answers, too. Also, I always have many questions I want answered, and the responses on the site are often very quick and informative, often arriving in minutes.

I live in Brazil and there is one website that is vital and also connects me to home: ourweecountry.co.uk. It is the only website where we can get up-to-date news and results from the Northern Irish football league. It is absolutely essential.
