My slippers say it all.
I have been off the grid, so to speak, for a month now but I am back. Things have started slowly here in Japan but Satomi and I are starting to gain some momentum in our search for a place to live and on potential means of earning a livelihood. I’ll write more about those things in a later post.
As you surely noticed from the title I have given our quest to build a new life here in Japan a moniker…The Green Tea Dreamer Project. No doubt I am the one who is the Green Tea Dreamer. Slowkurt is no more (most of you will understand that). If this were Satomi’s blog is would be the “How are we going to survive with out any money project!!!”. I plan to leave the panic to her and dream about a future where we frolic part of the year in the USA and part of the year in Japan all the while drinking green tea copiously wherever our travels take us.
The adventure has begun for us. Follow along if you like. If it gets interesting tell your friends to follow along too.

Nice man. Good to see Ill be able to keep up with what you guys are up to.
Have you found room for all your stuff yet?

Truth be told, we have found room for all of our stuff. It isn’t the ideal place but it will do for a while. It is all still boxed up in the old rice storage loft in Satomi’s parent’s barn. Getting it up there was chore. Getting it down should be even more fun! Hopefully, we can get it out of there before the mice and bugs find out how nice our stuff is.
You are an inspiration to all of us. Looking forward to hearing about the Green Tea Adventures. Thanks for taking the time for the blog. Should be great fun.
Congratulations on being off the grid for awhile Kurt! I hope you and Satomi have a marvelous time and a grand adventure! I will look forward to reading your Blog, and will think fondly of where those flip flops might take you. Take care of yourself, and remember always that there are people back here pulling for you and wishing you the best. DA
Meanwhile all of us here in LA LA LAND are completely screwed without our Kurt around! Especially me!!!
We miss you guys. Lucy and Pony say WOOF!
