James, from the ALTInsider podcast, recently had me on his show to talk about my experiences as an assistant language teacher (ALT) in Japan, but we ended up talking more broadly about the circumstances that lead to my coming to Japan, and my life out here in the deep, deep countryside of Nagano.

Deep in Japan is and always will be free for consumption, but is far from free to produce. Even as little as a buck a month -- less than the price of a cup of coffee -- would go a long way to help cover our many and growing expenses. We're completely independent, and every penny helps.
