Thanks for visiting! The former purpose of this page was to inform my family, friends, and colleagues of developments and observations made while teaching English to Japanese schoolchildren. It spanned a period from August, 1999, to June, 2000.
Not only was it a rewarding and enriching experience, it allowed Misako and I to meet and marry. It is NO LONGER Jim's Page. Now it is Jim & Misako's page. We hope to share pictures and happenings with our families and friends in Japan and the U.S.
Each section is grouped by itself and is linked back to the home page.
The newest chapter in our life is being written. We are leaving Florida to reside in Georgia. I plan to try and journal some stuff and share it online. Why? Beats me. It seems like a good way to keep up with friends while we are extremely busy at the start. ....whatever...... |
