Book excerpt: Japan is one of the great loves of my life, but it wasnat always that way. As little as six years ago, Japan wasnat even on my list of places that I wanted to visit, let alone live. It seemed too aoriental.a Yet, through a weird twist of fate (and, as it turned out, luck), I ended up living there two separate times, most recently as an English teacher. Life as a agaijina (literally translated, aoutside persona) in Japan was oftentimes frustrating (especially when, time and again, people looked into your shopping cart at the grocery store to see what a gaijin would buy) and at the same time side-splittingly hilarious. This is a humorous collection of my experiences written while I was living in Yamagata Mura, Iwate Ken, Japan. I hope you enjoy reading them (and laughing at them) as much as I enjoyed living them.
