Konichiwa America!
Welcome to my blog all about being lost. Yes, lost. So much of what Americans know about Tokyo came from the movie Lost in Translation. A lot of what we saw in that movie is true. The feelings of being alone, not understanding this new culture surrounding you, feeling a little crazy and lonely- all true. But a lot of it is just good movie making. My experience is bigger than just living in a city all the way on the other side of the world from home. It's about new food! It's about a new job. It's about new adventures with my main squeeze. We'll be here for a short period of time, and who knows what kind of trouble we'll get ourselves into. This is a transitional period in our lives. We are here to discover ourselves! This blog is so that all of you back home (or wherever you are) can follow along as I get more and more lost in transition...
Thanks in advance for coming on this journey with me. I hope to feature regular pictures of crazy things I come across so prepare yourselves. Here is one I like so far:
Just a man going down the escalator at the Shinkjuku Picadilly movie theater. No big deal.
Check back soon for a spread on a street festival we stumbled across by accident. This is just one benefit of being lost.
So excited for you two and love it already! Can't wait to see what you come across next! ~Kristin and Jay
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are going to be keeping a blog! Such a big step for you, technologically speaking! You need to sign up for facebook or twitter next :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your new temporary home, and meeting some friendly people--hopefully some who speak a lick of english!
