Well, that’s what it may look like but if you’ve ever worked with people who have good attention to detail and those who don’t, you realize how valuable the requirement actually is. I wish more people were socialized into ‘attention to detail’ 🙂

Thank you for your post and sharing your experiences of being exposed to a new and different world. I regret that I haven’t had a chance to talk to you earlier. Hope to hear more of your stories.

As a parent you get socialized into a totally new world anyways and for migrants it complicates the question of home in so many ways. I’ve found it really inspiring to listen to and read your stories and those of all the other parents profiled on Japanese-on-the-Move!
