Disclaimer: the picture to the left - an unknown American after our GLORIOUS win over Canada in the opening round of the Olympics - is not a rip by a Yank on Canada (again, GLORIOUS!!), but rather a tribute to those who are willing to stand out in the crowd.
We, Mike and Mike (one Canadian and one American), intend for this blog to be simple: a glimpse into the life of a few gaijin and our lives in Japan. The ups, the downs, the bitches, whines, moans as well as the praises, gloats and boasts about why we live here.
Like anywhere else in the world, there are good days, bad days, really bad days, and REALLY bad days that you wish the whole damn archipelago would sink into the ocean and you were the only one with a life vest. It seems that these are the days most well documented. We hope that we also post on the good days, and especially on the great days.
We are the ones who chose to live here; to leave behind what we know and love to find something else to know and love, or even to find (or stay with) or a person we know and love. We came here by different means. Sometimes we come with intentions, sometimes without. Sometimes we come willingly, sometimes not. The fact is that we like it here. This place gives plenty of talking points and stories which can be entertaining. These are our stories. We hope you enjoy them.
