About the Author

I was born in Maryland, USA and have lived in Japan since 1989.  While in graduate school, I learned that each year you learn 10,000 different things about the culture you are living in. I like Japan, so, of all the things I have learned in my time here, surely there are 1000 things for this list.  I hope you enjoy seeing Japan through my eyes in this blog.  See my similar blog for my home country – it’s listed in the Blogroll below.
