About this blog

Ok this is my blog/journal/website that I will be updating as often as possible while I am here in Kitanakagusuku, Okinawa. It only took me one month to remember/figure out how to pronounce where I live! So I hope you enjoy hearing about my adventures and job and life here in Okinawa! And that you find the stories/rantings interesting. Keep an open mind! Please leave me comments/questions so I know what you think! Take Care!

"Ichariba Chode"- once we meet we are like brothers/sisters! (Okinawan saying)
