I’m an American who has never been outside the US, living with a beautiful Japanese woman and her daughters. I’m learning Japanese and working on learning the numerous cultural differences.

I’m an American living in Tokyo since 1990 with my wife and our daughters.
Your blog is very interesting. I hope you’ll visit mine ( http://tokyo5.wordpress.com )

Cheers for the link to my blog. I’ve added a link back to your’s in the “Japan Blogs” links menu.
Like you, I’m a Japanophile living far from Japan. My only connection with the place is my interest for all things Japanese…my partner’s Dutch so he’s not a great help with the language.
Do you have any plans to live in Japan or visit it?

You haven’t updated in about a month.

I haven’t abandoned it, just not much to write about lately. Been busy with other things.
When I’ve got something worthwhile to talk about I’ll jump back in.
