I graduated Calfornia State Univ, Fullerton in USA. No problem communicating in English. And, worked for well known German sports company for 15yrs at high rise building in Tokyo looking down Tokyo tower, but now crouching on the ground and farming! My husband is also born and raised in Tokyo/Saitama. We have thought about our life, and decided to move to the rural area to do farming..
