日本の 樹梨
<--私のページへの歓迎! 日本語に翻訳のための日本旗をつけなさい。
      Moving to Japan involves taking a step into a whole new world. Where Western knowledge of social attitudes, cultural beliefs, and business practices are about as useful as the ability to touch you tongue to your nose. Japan is and always will be a challenge. Existing her happily means that you have to make the best of every single curve ball life throws at you, from one's first trip to the Onsen, opening a thoughtful little bento box, and being forced to eat Nato, the world's most disgusting food. Thankfully I didn't come here with high expectations, or any at all for that matter. I came to Japan because it was the country selected for me, by people who felt I belonged here. I came here as a Rotary Youth Exchange Student, and wouldn't change it for the world.
    This is my story. The story of an American girl living and learning Japan. I hope this website at least scratches the surface on what an incredible place Japan is and what an amazing life I'm currently living.
                                      Best Wishes,
                                    Julie in Japanland...
