Refuge of a Maladjusted Moose

I have been having some trouble coming up with a suitable first post for this blog and the reason for this is because every time I start writing I end up with a pile of "self indulgent drivel". I think this occurs too much with blogs, people write stuff not because anyone wants to read it but because the just want to say it. Unfortunately I have come to realise that "self indulgent drivel" is inevitable. Thus in order to try reduce its amounts on my own blog I am going to try keep on point most of the time (I fully expect to get on my soap box occassionally but I'll try keep it to a minimum).

This brings me nicely to the point of this blog. Well, for those of you who don't know me, I am going to go to the town of Kaya (Japan) to live for a while. I'll be posting any news and experiences of this significant life change on this blog. Not for me, but for my friends, family, and anyone else who is interested. In short, its easier than group emails.

For now though I don't have much else to say. I'm heading out in just under 2 weeks now and preperations are going at a slow and steady pace. With any luck my next post will be made from Japan.

Till then....
