Ohayo Ohayo. New Jersey. I'm new here. Photos, for those that don’t like to read. Lo, Visitors from the Americalands…. October 19, 2009, 2:42 am. I suppose some of this may read as a shameless self-promotion to get friends and family to come out and visit, which it kind of is. Kat and Laura surely recognized the value in having a good friend living in remote Japan. When else are you going to have a tour guide built into a friend in one of the more accessible, yet less traveled, parts of the world?

The first thing I did when I arrived in Sapporo was to go to Starbucks. I proceeded to go to Starbucks, the same one at that, another four times while I was there. I preferred my Vivace and Stumptown there, granted I had many places to choose from in the city that made coffee cool. Here, not so much. Hey, a Starbucks is better than nothing. I hadn’...

Life gets in the way, without even trying, and you tend to neglect your writing duties. Oops. So to reconcile, I’ll use my favorite tool the list! Went to Thailand for three weeks over winter break. (No, this will not be the last thing I say about that trip). Prepped for said trip. Mid-Year Conference. This ...

While she is known primarily for her fiction, such as. I’ve got twenty. But who caresda da da dahI want moresorry. Update. Yes, my town does have a farmers’ market, but I’ve been warned that it’s tiny and only on Saturdays and Sundays. It starts toward the end of May, so we’ll see if I can find any gems. Looks...

Ohayo Ohayo. New Jersey. I'm new here. Photos, for those that don’t like to read. Oh for the Love of Cute. November 9, 2008, 12:00 pm. Well the elementary students were not ones to be stood up by the junior high school’s bunkasai and had one of their own. I don’t go to the elementary school on a regular basis so I didn’t get to see the students prepare for this festival, but after seeing the final product I so wish I had. The cuteness factor was through the roof. Then they moved into their skit. Glory, t...

The next day, coffees in hand, we made our way out to Misawa Air Force Base to see how much I could remember and how much it changed. But first (! We swung by the ocean and I could see the familiar beaches and breakers, even a mural that was around when I was there granted the paintings most likely changed several times after the years. Then Misawa! And of course, we couldn’t...

Ohayo Ohayo. New Jersey. I'm new here. Photos, for those that don’t like to read. April 6, 2010, 12:42 pm. Back in university, I decided to major in music because I knew it might be the last chance I would get to seriously study music before going into medical school. So officially, I was a music major, but was taking an equal number of classes in the sciences to complete the prerequisites for medical school. (I tell folks here in Japan about that and they gasp in bewilderment, Never in Japan!

HAJET Summer Meeting at Lake Toya in June. Beautiful weather. Gaijin sumo spectator-ing. Victory in Capture the Flag. A good old fashioned American bbq. Last hurrah with folks leaving the island in Sapporo. Quality time. More goodbyes and more rain. 1 year anniversary of being in Japan. Celebrated with more rain. August 25, 2009, 11:41 am.

Now, heh, wellpeople were certainly not understating the screwiness of this test. I had my first lesson, at 7am (! I’ll leave you all with my favorite little tidbits from the lesson:. Use your blinker/winker a LOT. No brakes allowed on turns. You can add another name to the list of folks that passed the test the first time! I can do ANYTHING!
