Japan Life - Store Parking

I've decided to start a series of posts called "Japan Life" in order to document the things about our life here that I found most interesting when we moved here. Most of them are little mundane things, but they're so completely different from back home that they fascinate me.

First up - grocery store parking...and I guess you could say store parking in general. Most bigger stores have parking decks on top of the store, and the ground level parking is reserved for bikes. This is the bicycle parking lot at the supermarket where we get our groceries. Notice the bike-sized parking spaces.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Stuart Clan in Japan! We went into Tokyo to spend the day with some of our fellow Americans, so this is us taking a train "over the river and through the woods."

Thank you so much to our friends and family across the globe who have prayed for us, given to the LMCO, and encouraged us by your words and care packages. It has all meant the world to us, and keeps us going each day, even when we're discouraged by our language learning and celebrating special days thousands of miles away from our families. You are all a part of the work we're doing here in Japan!
