Can you live far from your better half? by Julien
Well that's a personal question, but have you ever lived far from your better half? I spent almost two years far from my girlfriend when I first came to London, then we moved together to Madrid (for one year), and now I am back to London for a ...

Let's see...before we got married, DH and I were apart (me in U.S., he in Japan) for 1 1/2 years--separated by a 14-hour time difference and the great stretch of the Atlantic Ocean (or Pacific, whichever way you're flying). :)That's awful! How did ... Read More

riate or Immigrant? by Julien
Hi, after reviewing wikipedia's definition of the word riate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/riate I realized the difference between an riate and an immigrant. And there are "global nomads" too ... What do you think you are? I think I ...

This is very strange...I just wrote about this on my blog a few days ago (http://cishii.blogspot.com/2006/03/dance-of-submission-and-resistance.html). I characterized myself as an "" at that time, but think I'm leaning more towards "global ... Read More

Hi from Japan! by aurora94
Hi! Just joined the other day. :) American, originally from New York, living in the wilds of Kyushu, Japan. I've been here for 12 years and have been married to my DH (Japanese national) for 6 years. Will be here indefinitely! :D

Personally, I think Mandarin would be the language to go with, especially with the rise of the Chinese economy. Hmm, if I would move again, I would probably be happy to go just about anywhere! :D Read More


How long have you been far away?? by Mandy
Hi everyone!!! All of us here are travelling a lot away from our country trying to find either a nice job, a nice experience, or just simply a nice way of living...away from our home country! I wondered how many years you all had been abroad? ...

I've been out of my "home" country (can I still call it that???) since July 1994. No plans to move back. Read More

Hi Julien and TC! Thanks for your replies. :) Yes, I do speak Japanese (but had also majored in Japanese in university). There are not very many English speakers down here so it's kind of a necessity. :) TC, being a foreigner in Kyushu is pretty ... Read More
