up and away...


as spontaneous as i THINK we are, obviously we're a little predictable. so yes, dears! we're headed to japan! :) :) :) we'll be there from september onwards and meanwhile, after the singaporean wedding, we're gonna try our darnest to squeeeeeeze our entire life into boxes and fit them into a little nugget of japanese space in tokyo!!!

while daniel jumps head first into japanese worklife (good luck buddy!!), im gonna spend a while to sort out our living space and get us settled in, pick up japanese and possibly find work !! we've good friends who used to live in japan who shared lovely contacts and recommendations with us but feel free to drop me a note with more things i MUST check out, or job opportunities for me while im there!

Nihon e youkoso! :)

  2. lucky duck!!! i've always wanted to live in tokyo but am terrified at being a single expat woman there amongst all the kawaii chickadees...ha! i love japan...am way overdue for a trip... azabu-juban is the cutest little neighborhood to live in btw...my parents lived there prior to having me, and i stayed there in my friend's apartment for a few days when i last visited.

    Given that the husband will probably be working, I'll need a tea time companion / shopping buddy :)
