Greetings from Cairo!
ps. why did you move to Japan? are you going to live there 'forever'? :)
(more questions later! do you mind?)
I moved to Japan to be able to work and do my Art at the same time. I teach English Part-time.
I am not sure how long I will stay. My husband and I have been here about seven years.
How was it for you in the beginning, how long did it take to get 'in'?
Do you feel all the time that you're foreigners?
Do you or both speak Japanese?

This is our third time to live in Japan. This time it feels right.
I am always a foreigner here, but I like that feeling. I usually handle any business that is done in a foreign language. It just works out that way.
