Hello,

My girlfriend and I are recently off-the-plane foreigners living in a wonderful rural area near Gifu in Japan.

We've been here for eleven days and both work in the same school as Teachers (by surprise there). So far we've had an interesting experience ordering food, singing karaoke 'till the early morning and otherwise trotting around in temperatures that for the better part of me (Being from Quebec, Canada) are a little overwhelming.

That being said, we've seen some interesting sights (Flew into Tokyo and spent a night in the Park Prince Hotel ((Highly recommended if you can fit the slightly heavy bill)) and seen the Tokyo Tower.

Both of us hold University degrees and are interested in learning as much as we can about our surroundings and the Japanese people/culture/so-on-so-forth.

Well that about sums it up -

Pleasure to be part of this world.
