First Post; my whereabout...

【Japanese】
ご無沙汰している皆さんへ。。。　　いつでも、私の近況がわかるようにこのサイトを作りました！　どの程度頻繁にアップデートできるか自信ありませんが、時々チェックしてください。
で、今、私がどこで何をしているかというと。。。　東京にいます。しかも、3年目になります。ODA（政府開発援助）関係の仕事をしつつ、毎日忙しい日々を過ごしています。

【English】First, let me update you on where I live and what I have been doing. For those of you who believe that I am still somewhere in the US (sorry for not sending ANY greeting cards.), for those who believe that I went off to work in some crazy places like Afghanistan or DRC (I did not quite make it...), and for those who know how much I hated big cities, this may come as a big suprise. I live in .... Tokyo, Japan. This is my third year in working at one of the government agencies implementing Japan's ODA (official development aid). I live inside Tokyo (quite close to the Disney Land) right next to the train track! I ride those extremely crowded trains in the mornings (and at nights)!

So... this is my attempt to keep in touch with you better, no matter where I go next. I hope to share some of the interesting things I experience, places I go, etc. Check back time to time (be patient, too) !
