Lived in Tokyo and realized it wasn't worth it after some time considering the amount of money to be made in the states. In the states, higher salary, lower cost of living, larger homes, more room. I miss Japan, but I don't want

I raised my kids in Tokyo for a year and it was painful (there are upsides too). One of the things I struggled with the most was that living in an apartment building made it very difficult to let my children run free. They'd have to
