Living in Japan

Many people visit japan and are in awe of its wonderous culture. There are sights and sounds in Japan that can't be experienced anywhere else in the world. I first came to Japan as a tourist some 22 years ago. I was simply stunned by the natural beauty of its mountains, temples, culture and people. I was at the time teaching Japanese students in the UK who were interns from a company in Tokyo. It was during this time I met my wife. She was from a small city called Shizuoka. Shizuoka is famouse for its green tea, oranges, fish and views of Mt Fuji. We were married in the UK and soon had two children running around keeping us busy.
