Dearest amigos,My departure to Japan is now very close at hand - 10 days, in fact. I'll be doing my writing as usual from Japan - trust me, once I'm settled in I'll have a fair amount of free time - but how you'll go about reading it will come with a twist.Basically, this site will serve the purposes of very personal stories (things involving specific identities), life-changing revelations, love stories, and information on how to come visit me in Japan, when the time comes. Along with all the usual stuff like rants on games and music.For the rest, like general information on my life in Japan, the wackiness of being one of very few white people in rural Japan, the silliness that comes with being an English teacher, and advice for aspiring teachers, I've created a new site which I hope will get something of a larger readership and perhaps even become a business venture. (You'll notice those ads on the right, which are intentional.)www.konnichiwhoa.com is that site. This site will link to that one, but that one won't link back to here. And just to make sure we're all perfectly clear, this site isn't going anywhere. Everyone cool? Great. Now go hit up Konnichiwhoa and read some stuff about Japan.
