less-than-cosmic ramblings on moving from one country to another

more links to follow... | I've already lived in two countries (not counting all those I've just visited). And the differences between lifestyles and cultures, not to mention the differences between who I am as a person before and after my ten years in Japan seem to make my 22 years in New York and Massacusetts a different country from my eight years lived in Washington State. But I've only the one passport, and it records my residences as just USA and Japan... And now I have added a third, perhaps for good. In September of 2006, I moved to Canada, to the province of British Columbia. (as an aside, it seems that I was one of more than 10,000 people to leave the US for Canada last year. wow!) This site, as I build it, will talk about why I made this decision, how the move proceeds, what happens to my work (both as an artist and a translator) as I go and then, what my new life is like. Classic online navel-gazing, perhaps. But self-expression nonetheless.
