I returned a few days ago, from a one month visit to my hometown, USA. After having lived in Japan for one year, I was expecting a little culture shock on my return. Fortunately my heathen upbringing, leaves me shocked at almost nothing. I am fortunate to have a large, wonderful and often non-disfunctional family. When I see them, I am reminded of what was, is and always will be the most important aspect of my life. We had multiple "get togethers" at my parents house upon my return, with several welcomed additions to the always changing family tree. Having Japanese family in the United States as well as Japan, gives us a nice blend of culture and food!
My daily activities on my one month heiatus included relaxing, playing with my much missed dog, hanging out with family, running "errands" for my parents and visiting close friends.
I had the opportunity to fly an ultralight airplane, it's been a goal of mine for quite a while. I felt right at home in the sky and I knew that I had found a new passion in my life. I'm hoping to get a sport pilots license next time I return to the US.

My name is Sammie, I am a half-Japanese American. I moved to Japan to know my family and our history, learn the language and understand the culture. These are the records of my experiences living in Tokyo. Check the archives for posts from previous months, click any photo for a larger view.
