For anybody who doesn't know yet, I've started my teaching job in Japan! It's been a great adventure so far, and the best part is that it's just beginning. :) You can find my blog all about my Japan adventures here- I had to move things for family and friends that aren't on livejournal or whom shouldn't necessarily be poking around livejournal ( Read more... ) -
