I belong to the Officers' Spouses' Club here in Sasebo. As a member of the OSC, I also have the opportunity to be a member of the International Ladies' Club. I take advantage of that opportunity. We take a trip the first Thursday of each month...

Vacation was AWESOME!!!!

Russ and I got to take some vacation in July. We went to Australia. It was completely awesome! Both of us agreed that this was the best vacation either of us had ever been on. It was more of a Honeymoon than our honeymoon. We've gotten so muc...

Some more mundane experiences...

I'm learning a lot about Japanese culture. There is a competitive gift giving culture here. Someone gives you a gift, you thank them and give them a gift, they thank you and give you a gift. This goes on until one of the parties finally admits ...

Back From Thailand!!

What a treat! When the port visit in Hong Kong was canceled and the ships were sent off to Myanmar, I wasn't sure when I'd get to see Russ again. They sat out there off the coast for a month, unable to do anything to help the people of Myanmar. ...

Summer in Sasebo

This one is for Libby. You all know how miserable I was in Florida in the summer. We weren't even in Miami, and I was looking for proof that skin melts. Well, I should have been grateful for what I had. Summer in Sasebo makes Florida look like...

Driving in Japan

nobody@vox.com(Kristina) — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 03:33:55 +0900

Yes, we drive on the WRONG side of the road here. OK, I hate when people say that. We actually just drive on the OTHER side of the road here. It's easy, except when you keep hitting the wipers instead of the turn signal. But, you get over that...

I've been off having fun!

nobody@vox.com(Kristina) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 10:57:28 +0900

I'm sorry I've been off the map for so long. I've been off having fun! Before Russ left for 2 months, we went to Hirado island on an MWR tour. That was cool. We got to see a castle and William Adams' grave. I ate Whale sashimi and ramen. It ...

I have much to catch up on posting, but here's a little bit for your entertainment... Sightseeing went well yesterday. We slept in until 8:30 and missed breakfast. That was OK. Jean woke up early and just stayed in bed not wanting to wake ...

ConGRADulations to me!

nobody@vox.com(Kristina) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 13:32:58 +0900

It's OVER! It's finally over! I am done with grad school. Now, I just have to wait for my final grades to come in and my diploma to arrive. I am so relieved, I think I'll go pass out for a few hours. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be sent to P...

I have decided to join the Officers' Spouse's Club, or the OSC for short. Also, as a member of the OSC, I can become a member of the ILC (International Ladies' Club) which also contains 4 Japanese ladies' clubs. I think this will be lots of fun ...
