I'm Rachel, a small-town girl from Oklahoma. I just came back to the U.S. after living in Japan for the past four years.

For those not living in Japan, the past week here has been “Golden Week”, a week in which the entire country goes on vacation. I too have been on vacation, and thus, too busy having fun [...]
Sometimes it’s really interesting living next to a science/space expo center.
For one thing, I have a view of a giant rocket outside of my living room window.
The “N” is cut off by the building, but it says “NIPPON” on it. Snazzy, right?
I also get hear crowds of hyper elementary school children unloading [...]
