Welcome!

Welcome to "Kristi in Japan"! I'll be using this blog to record my adventures over the next year, as I travel to Kamo City, Japan to teach English with the JET Program. I depart on July 23rd from SeaTac airport and will be spending a few days in Tokyo getting oriented before continuing on to discover my new home in Kamo City, which is located in Niigata prefecture. I will be teaching at several junior high schools in the area.

To whet your appetite, here are a few random pictures of Niigata which I found on the Internet:










More to come!
