today I moved to Tokyo!

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2006.03.08

I've taken the plunge, and among the newest residents in this city of 30+ million.

I've wanted to return to life abroad for some time now, just never imagined that it would be Japan. I don't speak the language, and I certainly can't read. But with my visa troubles behind me, I'm ready to make a go of it.

As a visible minority, I'll be in the tiny minority indeed.
