The image above is the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, which at almost four kilometres in length is the world's longest suspension bridge. And in just over a month's time, this bridge will be one of our local attractions.You may or may not be aware by now that Matt and I have been placed as JETs in Kobe. The purpose of this blog is for us to keep our friends and family apprised of our adventures in Japan, both in pictures and in words. Though we can't yet be sure what the internet access is like over there, we will try to update it as often as possible.
Feel free to drop us a line!
P.S. The title of the blog is a rather poetic line (well, we think so, anyway) from William Gibson's Neuromancer. Gibson has set many of his novels in Japan--albeit a very futuristic and Western image of Japan (think Blade Runner)--but so far it's the only Japan we know. We are about to get "schooled."
