After our move we went to municipal bureau the next Monday to register our move and since the one year since the translation of my drivers license is almost up we decided to change it as well. Unfortunately it took way longer than expected (somehow there were a lot more people in Yokohama than in…
Finally back online! Waiting for an internet connection can be a real drag… But let’s talk about our move to Yokohama, since it was not only the first move I experienced in Japan, but also the fastest move ever. My husband had been talking to moving companies a few weeks before and decided finally on…
What a fantastic idea from Shizuoka Gourmet to put together a list of people who blog about Japanese food! I am honored to be on the list, even though the eating portion is somewhat non existent lately. But it comes at a great time, because I plan to not only blog more in 2016 but…
