10 year veteren living and working in Japan/ as well as veteren of a Japanese wife, 5 year old daughter. Before that I spent 1 year here in High-School, 1 year in College and 3 years at UMass majoring in Japanese language and Literature. So I've been here for a while (about 12 years total), speak-read-write Japanese like a mofo, but still don't have a clue as to what's going on somedays...
