For those who don’t know, ABC stands for American born Chinese. I was born and raised in San Francisco, with immigrant parents. I love to travel and experience new things. I’ve lived in Tokyo for 15 months, and have gotten a lot of inquiries as to how to settle in Tokyo. So instead of writing it over and over again. I decided to create this blog, with interesting observations I’ve made. They can be completely wrong but they are notes that I have taken. Please keep in mind this information was applicable as of 2007-2008. Japan changes so fast, that it may not be of use. Do you have questions about Japan? Be sure to e-mail Claudiajmng@gmail.com I’ll try to answer your questions^_^
