I am a twenty-four year old American expatriate living in Kanagawa, Japan with my husband, Tatsuya. After completing my final year of college as an exchange student at Sophia University, now I teach English to preschoolers and kindergarteners in Tokyo! This blog is for friends, family, and whoever else may be interested in reading about the events and experiences in my life abroad. You can visit my ABOUT.

An empty seat on a crowded train. Welcome to Loco in Yokohama. As part of the promotional campaign for multi-layered horror movie.

As most of us know, there was a huge earthquake followed by tsunami that mauled northern Japan last week. There have also been concerns about a nuclear power plant apprx. 150 miles away from where we live in Fukushima. that is what is going on. NOT going to be fun I imagine.

Its been a pretty cool week over here. Kindy has been a success, as far as it can be in the first week I think. She cried a little everyday but then stopped within minutes of me leaving. Every day when I collect her she seems happy and stimulated and doesnt want to come home. I was really surprised actually.
