Sarah and Andy's Gap Year

So after years of reading about my cousins having amazing travel adventures (you know: Zac is a reindeer farmer at the north pole; Alaine is living in a Buddhist monastery in remote northern India; Harry got drunk one night and woke up in a shipping container in Timbuktu), now I have finally flown the coop and I'm living it up in Japan!

I landed on Friday and I've settled into a cushy little share house in Harajuku that'll be my home for the next 2 months. After that, Sarah will be coming over and we'll look for a new place together.

I've got a job interview on Friday -- I've been told that I shouldn't mention the War.

For those interested, Sarah and I will be keeping a blog. You can find it here. If anything particularly Roffish happens, I will post about it on the Roff Report, too.

The photo below was taken by an elderly Japanese man at the Meiji gardens in Harajuku. I'd asked him to take my photo because he had an absolutely massive, very expensive camera around his neck, so I though he'd be able to take a good picture. It just shows that appearances can be deceiving.

Make sure there's room for guests at your new place...I'll be visiting for sure! Look forward to hearing about your adventures. Good luck with the interview!

I'm already a big fan of Sarah's writing and will visit the blog regularly. What's with Tamago and Moon Tan?

There's an explanation in the "about the authors" section. I'm using a nom-de-plume so that it's a bit harder for prospective employers to Google me...

Egg good luck and all, but don't post again until you have Kate news.

Love the blog - especially the part where Moon Tan waited until Eggman was in Japan to start researching whether or not they sold deoderant.
Looking forward to reading over the next few months...
