Hi, this is Maureen. I’m a college junior spending the fall 2008 semester in Nagoya, Japan. I created this blog so that my family and friends could keep up with me while I am abroad.
A caveat – as I noted, this blog was originally intended just for friends and family, but with the internet being the internet and knitters being who they are, I’ve picked up a few people that I don’t actually know personally.
In other words, what I’m trying to say is – be nice. No sniping at other commenters will be tolerated for any reason and any offensive comments will be deleted. I moderate who can comment here and I do so with an eye to protect my own privacy, that of the people I post about, and some semblance of good taste. I’m erring on the side of caution, so if something rubs me the wrong way, it gets deleted.

Hi Maureen…I like your blog, your writing style, your photos, your knitting! Thanks for giving me access. That fan shawl is really impressive…I can’t imagine the work involved.
I’m looking forward to following your adventures in Japan. Have a great time.
Love,
Ann

Hi Maureen,
I just stumbled across your blog. My name is Rebekkah and I’m from Australia. I’m becoming a CJS student next year at Nanzan University. I was hoping to find out as much information as I could about the place before I headed off…and here I am
I’ve read a few of your blogs and I really like the way you write. I also have a blog, but unfortunately I had to delete in Sept 2007 due to a horrible host family I had. (I was on exchange in Japan last year also.)
Nonetheless, I’m trying to re-make it as such…
Anyways, I would love to hear back from you. If you don’t mind and if your not too busy I’d love to ask you a few questions also.
Well enjoy your last little while in Japan!
peace
Bek
