Lost in Transition
“Lost in Transition” is the story of an Ohio girl fumbling with chopsticks, avoiding squat toilets and marveling in general at all things strange and cute in Japan. Updated weekly, this blog gives a glimpse into the life of a former reporter turned English teacher as she confronts a tad of culture shock and seeks answers to mysterious questions like "What on earth is that stuff in my bento?" Plenty of photos and videos.
