You ever wonder what it’s like to PCS to Japan? Then check out my post at Militarybases.com called “An American in Japan.” (And if you’re feeling chatty I’d love some comment love!) I entered this post in their You’re the Expert Writing Contest, and it turns out I won 2nd place. Very exciting!

Wonderful! We are in Okinawa now. I'm blond and blue eyed and so are my children. We couldn't blend if we tried. I think it's more common to see Americans here than in mainland, but the locals are still fascinated with my daughter and her blond, curly hair. We lived on base first and are now off. I love it so much more. I'm farther from base which is annoying at times, but I'm found so many new places and have actually made a lot of friends. I'm not looking forward to leaving here. I love it!
Congrats! And how lucky that you got to live in Japan! Can't wait to read about your experience!
Cheers,
Kristina
