In which I make a blog about Japan.

  Aaand because making a blog about teaching abroad is a completely new and interesting idea, I've decided that I might as well.
  This first post is being made from right here in the good ole U.S. of A..  I decided that more of an evolution would hopefully be apparent if I start before I begin working.
  Fun facts:  I have, in fact, been to Japan before.  I studied abroad my sophomore year of college and spent most of my time eating a copious amount of noodles.  Hence the blog name.  I kid you not, my friends had to cut me off.  I should have weighed 450 pounds by the time I left.
  Most of the reason I want to go back is because I had a wonderful time, didn't learn nearly enough of the language, and actually enjoy teaching.  Unfortunately, I also think part of my motivating factor to get back has something to do with the depressing dearth of noodles here.  Being on the east coast left me isolated from noodles (excluding the rare chances I had to get them NYC) and I want them back.  So, expect the occasional noodle post.  I apologize in advance (I apologize for nothing).
