Happy fifth anniversary!

Wow...I completely forgot in all the chaos surrounding my return from the last trip that it has now been FIVE years since I came to Japan (28 June 2000 for anyone who is keeping score).

The pictures above are some random photos I took in the Spring and have nothing to do with that, but they are of Japan. It will have to do.

When I arrived, I thought it would be a three-week trip. Then the local office offered me a permanent position. And I figured I would be here two years more. That just goes to highlights the power of inertia in our daily lives.

I guess the question now is how much longer I will stay. And the answer is I do not know. Moving internationally requires a lot of adjustments. Never mind having to ship your things halfway around the world, saying goodbye to good friends etc. What about this website? I mean how appropriate is "Sarukoen" if I am not in Japan?
