Like for example, there is a report entitled 記憶の秘密 that begins with the text このレポートでは、記憶や脳の仕組みをもとにした、効 果的で効率的な記憶法について説明します。 (In this report I explain an effective and efficient mnemonic based on memory and brain structure.)

You are saying different things between the two languages, which is making me wonder which one to go by in my corrections.

"my time spended (spent) in Japan" = You already went to Japan.
私の日本の行く時について = You will be going to Japan.

納豆がすこし好きではありませんね makes no sense. Japanese-speakers will not be able to tell if you like it or dislike it.

I will mostly use your English versions for my corrcetions.　

「それとも、日本に行った時の話しをしましょうか。例 えば地下鉄で迷子になった時のこととか。」

「それとも、枝豆よりも納豆の方が好きで、友達の誕生 パーティーで納豆ばかり食べていたことについて話しま しょうか。」
