On August 2nd I will travel halfway around the globe to teach English in the small, Japanese fishing town of Yokohama. This is not Yokohama-shi, the well-known city nearby Tokyo. This is Yokohama-machi, a town made of vegetable farms, a fishing port, and a population of roughly 4,500 people. I created this blog to chronicle my daily life and adventures as a JET for my own future self-reflection as well as for the friends and family I will leave behind for the next year.
