Requirements: ePUB Reader, 800 kb
Overview: When Kim Hotzon and her fiance Bill decided, on the spur of the moment, to take leave of their jobs in Canada to seek work in the far-flung country of Japan, the twenty-two-year-old only imagined swaying cherry blossoms framing elegant bridges. However, when she and Bill landed in bustling Tokyo, the two soon found themselves deeply immersed in a strange new world that was often as confounding as it was exhilarating.
From finding a place to live in Osaka to emerging unscathed from emergency rooms and coping with a language barrier, Hotzon’s tenure entailed overcoming the numerous challenges of acclimatizing to Japan’s distinct culture. While at times, the author found her new home less than open-armed in its welcome, together the young couple persevered to establish their own business, forge friendships, and embrace an incomparably beautiful place that forever changed their shared destiny. Rich in evocative detail and racing with globetrotting adventure, this powerful account of the effect of Japan will enthrall anyone with a sense of adventure and a bit of wanderlust.
