Update 18/02/2011
So, if you’ve read any of the blog, it is obvious I am in Japan now. I’ve been here about six months now and am having a ball. As far as the original intention for this site, I guess I feel I haven’t quite lived up to that. The site so far has been more of a chronicle of my experience here than a blog resource but I hope within that there is still some stuff that people find useful. Actually looking at this page again may re-focus me a little in terms of providing useful information to people in Japan or thinking of coming here.
My primary purpose now, I guess, is as I wrote above; to chronicle my experiences here and to do so in a way that is hopefully enjoyable for people to read.
Welcome to kiwiinjapan, a blog resource for anyone interested in living in Japan. My intention here is not to spew forth opinion (although there will likely be a bit of that) but to create a resource of videos, reviews, news items, photos, PDF’s, podcasts, observations, tidbits etc. to reside in digital perpetuity for fellow knowledge-hungry travellers.
Now I should mention that this Kiwi is not actually in Japan. Not yet anyway. I plan to leave in July/August 2010 with the JET programme, all things going well application-wise, so you will also be able to follow that process here… I have just returned home to spend some time with family. The next six months of my life are dedicated to relief teaching (dollaz and sense, as the RZA would say) and to learning Japanese.
