Bizarre...

Saw a guy at the Akashi train station wearing a jacket that said:

"American Legion, Marshall, Minn"

How did that get here?!

I tapped him on the shoulder to tell him I was from Minnesota and see if he had been there but he had no idea what I was saying. Not even sure if he got that I was from Minnesota, oh well.

I'm a movie star! Almost...

So our area manager Mike asked if I would "star" in a little video about grocery shopping in Japan to post on Nova's website.

I can now let out my breath that I don't look like a complete idiot!

Check it out!

My first post!

Woohoo, I have a blog now!

I finally got around to setting up my own blog. Apparently some people think they are cool and have already taken 'emma' and 'emmainjapan' as the names for their blogs so I decided to show them and call my blog 'OriginalEmma'. Yeah, that's right! Take that!

My blog will not be as funny or witty as Willard's, he has an English major and I don't. Instead you will get my take on what's going on in Akashi along with info about books I'm reading. As you all know I am a HUGE book nerd and one of my favorite things is discussing books with friends. So if I talk about a book you have read, please, please leave a comment so we can chat about it!!

Also, to those of you who I entrusted with my library, you'll remember that one of the stipulations was to talk to me about the books as you read them, hopefully this will work!

Ok that's it...let the blogging begin!
