Things I've learned in a Mere Month

To cross the street only when the light directs you to do so
To take my shoes off everywhere. I'm trying to point them towards the door.
To bow for forgiveness, as a greeting, and when you're grateful
That a rice cooker is a really cool appliance!
How to make onigiri
How to use a convection oven/microwave
How to take the train to Toys 'R Us
To try to not look at the prices so much, we have to eat!
That I love not owning a car! And that I love riding my bike/walking EVERYWHERE!
That looking left then right is burned into my brain, hopefully this won't get me killed.
That I've been missing out on the 100 Yen store. Dollar Stores just don't compare.
How to write 'milk' in hiragana (it's the most repeated character I write in Max's book)

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
