Location Nagoya, Japan
Introduction I started this blog as a new blank slate. I write about anything and everything, however mundane or redundant it may be. In April 2007 I moved across the Pacific on a 20 hr flight from Vancouver, BC to Nagoya, Japan. I sought escape.. but mostly I just didn't want to live without trying something new everyday. I haven't been very good at keeping track of my recent achievements and mishaps so here is yet another awkward attempt.
