January 1, 2010

New Year's Day is the big holiday in Japan. It is one of the few days that, depending on the hour, you can find a peaceful moment to walk the streets of Tokyo, perhaps visit a temple (otera) and reflect on the year to come.

There are many plans in the works for FIT. To those of you who are following FIT or are thinking of coming to Tokyo to find freelance work, please visit often. There are numerous resources on the Helpful Websites page, as well as many of the phrases you'll need and/or encounter while living and working in Tokyo.

To everyone, I wish you an excellent 2010 filled with health, happiness and prosperity.
