The Roach Hunter Annual Report
When you live in rural Japan, you live with friends; some are good, some
are bad and some are downright nasty. Our nasty friends love to pop in for a visit during
the rainy season especially although from time to time throught the year we get called
upon by them. Cockroaches, poisonous centipedes, wall-devouring mice, stink bugs. You name
it they visit. Well, we found someone who is particularly good at destroying the inch-long
cockroaches that scuttle about our feet late at night when the lights are low. We call
upon him and his skills whenever we feel the need. Care to come for a visit?
Seasons Greetings
Christmas and New Year are a very important part of many cultures. They
are important to us too. Important enough to dedicate a few pages of our website to each
year. And as the years progress, the pages should increase unless something drastic in our
lives occurs.
New Years Greetings
In Japan, we do not send out Christmas cards. Instead, we send out New
Year greeting postcards called "Nengajo". These cards are often sent out to
every business associate, every company every person who has helped out in some way in the
past. That can add up to a lot of nengajo, believe me. Even though our life together in
Japan has been for only 10 years, we already have a list of nearly 200 people we must send
to. At the current rate of 50 Yen per card, that really adds up. And can you imagine the
post office ever lowering their rates in the future? Neither can I.
Would you like to know what the greeting is in Japanese?
