Imagine packing a year's worth of possessions in two suitcases (each weighing less than 50 lbs.) and moving to another continent where you don't speak the language and you don't know another person.
On Sunday, Chad (the middle brother) moved to Japan. About a year ago, he started looking for new life experiences through opportunities to teach English in foreign lands, the Peace Corp and such. Several months ago he accepted a position in Osaka, Japan.
Osaka is the second largest city in Japan with a population of 20 million. (I'd never heard of Osaka before Chad introduced me to it.) As Chad said, imagine the population of Texas living in the city of Dallas. His apartment is 30 ft x 15 ft, not Texas-sized living anymore.
Anyway...he is keeping us all posted on life in Japan through the eyes of a red-headed, 6' foot, white guy. Check it out at Chadsan wa Blog.
