Welcome, so glad that you stopped by!
This blog is a chance for me to share cultural observations, thoughts, and adventures during my time in Japan. At the end of most posts there’s also a "Word Up" just tidbits from the limited Japanese I have tried to grasp. This past month I have been writing entries and gathering photos of my experience since arriving in August. Please feel free to comment on any of the posts even the first ones. I will be checking them all often and will try respond to comments. I hope you enjoy the pictures, the Word Ups, and everything else.

You're probably right whitey! I got the list off a site...that is supposed to deal with Christianity in Japan...but (of course i haven't been studying Japanese, ha).
Ummm by the way, I'm planning to head to Osaka again in January. I'm currently looking for just the right job. Wanna come with ???? This time I hope to do more ministry stuff.

Wow, Rach. Osaka in January. I'd love to be there then. Seems unlikely at this point, though I am working on some potential leads of my own... Maybe I'll see you there SOME day...

Actually I know nothing yet, except that I plan on coming...I am just searching for jobs NOW..haha. But I'm confident by January I'll be heading in YOUR direction. I'll keep you posted!
