Muza-Chan's Gate to Japan
By Muza-Chan: There are many reasons why people maintain blogs, the passion for a certain domain, the desire to communicate or just the desire to earn some money.. Me? I do have a passion to share and I do feel I have something to say.

Where Mt. Fuji meets Matterhorn
By Sibylle: Most of my 42 years I have spent in the mountainous area of Switzerland, where I have studied and worked in the scientific sector. While I dearly love mountains, I felt they constrained my global viewpoint. Following my desire to live abroad, the first stop for almost 7 years was Los Angeles. Under the Californian sun my outlook became more sunny and positive, fully absorbing the laid back culture. Still I was craving for more: I wanted to live in Asia. In my eyes Japan had the image of a high tech country with deep respect for tradition, a society with complex rules for everyday life, while all the goods seemed so practical and simple. For sure the place I wanted to be!

Surviving in Japan
By Ashley: Perhaps you're new to Japan, or you've been living here a while. Maybe you're fluent, already know some Japanese, or you have no idea what hiragana and katakana even are.

Expatria, Baby
By Erica: I'm a foreigner. And I have a baby. Hence the title of my blog. I've been living in Asia for about five years, and am currently calling Southern Japan "home". I'm Canadian. My husband is Swiss. Our baby was born in Japan. We have two Chinese cats, one of whom jumped off a 20th story balcony and survived to tell the tale.

Japan Private Journeys
By Gregory: Since childhood, Japan has been a part of my soul and after the tragic events of 3-11 in Tohoku, I felt as though a part of me went numb. My passion for Japan has always guided me over the years and now I find myself compelled to spread the word and encourage people to consider traveling to Japan again. GO 2 JAPAN is my campaign to educate and empower others to make the journey across the Pacific.
