I lived in Japan 25 years ago and now I am back for an indeterminate amount of time. According to a friend of mine, it is like I have been asleep for 25 years. It is weird to see how the culture has changed over that time adn I write about it or just anything that stikes my fancy

Learning Japanese can be tough. Getting used to Japanese music can make you deaf. Living in Japan can make you realise the better way of life. Pictures, thoughts, jobs, travels, festivals, friends, climbing, swimming, language etc... Quirky fun :)

Thoughts, Perceptions, & Commentary on Life in Japan-- From a 20-something Woman's Perspective.
sistaintokyo.blogs.com

I currently live in a rented Japanese mini-castle and enjoy filling it with new and vintage finds from around the world. I'm proud to be an expat SAHM in a family of homeschoolers, hippie folk-festival attendees, former-suburbanites, world travelers (well, mostly Asia), natural living proponents, book lovers…well, you get the idea. Or maybe you don’t. That’s okay—grab a handful of wasabi peas and join me anyway.

She's discovering her identity as a half Japanese woman from the other side, he's completing a decade of traditional martial arts training. Mostly a means of keeping in touch with folks back home, but you're welcome to read. And I write horoscopes :)

It takes awhile for all my thoughts to be written down. It's not an easy thing to do. I felt naked and scared, but it's something that I chose.

This blog reports on the activities of a group of Hiroshima-based foreigners & their Japanese friends who play 3-player mahjong. 3-player mahjong is a variation of the standard Japanese 4-player mahjong (some games of which are also reported here). Some of us also play Go, some play football, so those activities are also reported on and no opportunity is missed to digress onto other topics that have nothing to do with anything related to Mahjong, Igo, Football or Hiroshima...

BeckBlockBlog follows the tomfoolery of the Beck Family in Hiroshima, Japan at this small moment in time on a tiny, fragile planet in a vast and fantastical universe. Begun in August 2007, the blog is updated by Adam Beck every 2-3 days and includes such topics as family, work, life, spirit, and seal pups. According to site statistics, BeckBlockBlog now has readers on all continents but Antarctica. (So spread the word there among all your frost-bitten friends.)

The name isn't sexy, snazzy or sensational but it is appropriate. Is that so terrible? This blog serves several purposes: Communicating with my students outside of the classroom, publishing my students' work, and it serves as a resource for both students and teachers.

“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.
