Walk in the daylight...

then you will be safe; you will not stumble."

It is now 19 years!

I am an American woman who is married to a Japanese man. I have been living in Yokohama, Japan since March 1989.







After all these years, I actually call Yokohama, "my home town". As the years go by, I will have lived longer in Japan than in the United States.

As years pass us by...

Life living away from your home country sometimes changes your outlook. Your horizons change and your views on the importance of different items in your world change.



Do not think that you are experiencing different things that are unique. You are just changing and growing in your views and interpretation of life.

This is kind of fun... a blog with maps to show the countries I've visited... It also shows the places that I have or am living in.

The purpose of this blog

Many people are asking where I have visited.

Also, they keep asking where I have lived. So, it is easier to look for a mapping service. That makes it easier to visualize this.

I found this site www.world66.com. They have a nice mapping service.

Here is my site page... world66.com/member/martian_cat

It is also a good source for travel information in English. Searching the information found on this site is free. It is easy to register...

Lastly... there are many countries that I still am interested in visiting...

Of course, everyone has dreams...
