| 12th December 2008 amanda jane | cream of wheat! - From: Superlatives i love your photography! i am glad you documented you stint in japan so well and that i got to read it. maybe you'd just have to be japenese to get over your non-materialistic least favorites. but you did list generosity and hospitality :) hope to see yuo soon! |
| 25th November 2008 Roslyn | My Thanks - From: Superlatives Jennie, thanks for taking me with you to Japan. Your blogs have been my only vehicle that I'm sure I'll ever have to the Far East. I got to see not only Japan but also other places such as Singapore and Malaysia. What fascinating stories and pictures of your time abroad. I enjoyed myself! |
| 25th November 2008 Dad | Sorry it's over... - From: Superlatives Great lists. Thanks for doing this blog. It was great for us to keep in touch this way, and I think it was wonderful chronicle of your 2-year experience. Your photography gives us a "Jennie view" of Japan, too. Nice shots. Of course, we're glad you are back and so near to home. Also, looking forward to your next move in life with VISTA in Pocahontas County. |

| 25th November 2008 Naomi | - From: Lessons from Obaa-chan and Ojii-chan jennie, that was so beautiful. Nihongo no mo yomitai! |
| 11th November 2008 marilyn | What a Trip!!!! - From: Fare Thee Well Hi Jennie, Once again I loved reading your blog. You lived in Japan for two years and I shared a tiny portion of your experience via these blogs. What a trip it has been for me and how much fun my students had learning about another culture. Thanks for sharing your life there. I know it was hard to live it and record it at the same time, but you did an awesome job! Thanks, Love, Marilyn |
| 27th June 2008 Ultraman | Amazing Journey - From: On My Last Go-Round Hi, I've always look forward to reading your blog. And now I am also sad, like the people you have touched in your adopted hometown that you are leaving. Your writings were not only insightful but educational. I'm a Japanese-American and your writings have helped me better understand and learn more about my culture. Best wishes on your next leg of the journey. |
| 26th June 2008 Tim Terman | Tears - From: On My Last Go-Round Jennie, talking about being moved to tears. I teared up reading your blog, especially the part about the adult English class. I'm so proud! I love our music so much, and to think that my daughter is across the sea teaching a Woody Guthrie song and all the music of our American history, it just makes me want to tell everyone that the future is bright for us all -- I don't know why, but somehow I grow less pessimistic because my daughter is bridging the gap between one side of the world and another. And you’ve just started. It seems that everything I wanted you to know and appreciate - all that I value - is there in you, and you are sharing it with others wherever you go. Yep, I’ve teared up. Can’t wait to see you and to go to the Cliff Top Festival and dive into that good old-time Appalachian music!! |
| 26th June 2008 Stubrucam | So many memories! - From: On My Last Go-Round I really enjoyed reading this as it brought back a lot of memories of when I taught English in South Korea in 1999. Like you I had a lot of troubles with finding an appropriate level for my adult class- I really admire your musical solution! I didn't go on to an educational career but I look back on the whole experience as a very valuable- if occasionally maddening!- time of my life. Best of luck for your future career in education, I've no doubt you'll do very well. |
| 26th May 2008 Yellow Head | coming to a close - From: Cotton Candy Mountain Jen jen, I am glad that at least one of us made it out to see the famed cotton candy mountain. I can’t believe I missed it again this year and now there won’t be another chance. At least I get to see your pictures. It looked amazing! I hope you’re enjoying the last three months we have here. A long overdue round of ale on the beach is in call. |
| 19th May 2008 Aunt Elaine | Cherry Blossoms - From: Cotton Candy Mountain The pictures of the cherry blossoms are so beautiful, Jennie. It would be wonderful if you could do something with them when you get home. Maybe make cards of them or something. I'm glad you were able to see this "in person" before you leave. Love, Aunt Elaine |
| 28th April 2008 Marilyn | wow and envious - From: Cotton Candy Mountain Hi Jennie, Your blog entry made me want to visit your present spot in the world more than ever. I'm proud of you for having such an adventurous spirit and all of the talents you possess. Wow, to see the world from a different geographic perspective and envious of Maureen who is heading that way soon. Much Love, Marilyn |

| 1st March 2008 Jennie T | ummm.... - From: Naoshima: Posh Art Community in the Middle of the Inland Sea Dad.....um, I know that was you and not Tadao Ando. You can't fool me when the message includes your email address! |

| 25th January 2008 Erin Wight | Rumble rumble - From: Haisai Okinawa! Aw man, seeing that meal for Warahondo is making me so hungry! >_< It was really nice to just go into a restaurant and order, wasn't it?! Oh, by the way - I think I told you that Yoko, the owner, married someone from Aomori, right? Well, my friends told me that "Warahondo" is Tsugaru-ben (the dialect spoken on the west coast of Aomori) for "children". I didn't know that one yet. I think I'm gonna fly down there next month just so I can order some more food!! Lunch... so far away.... ~_~ |

| 6th February 2007 deleted_1954 | Nani??? - From: Rights of Passage and The Running Woman Sequel Ehhhhh... what about the famous Egg's from Space Experiment?? Haha, just joking. That was a great idea and definitely infused a bit of the Appalachian culture into the kids of the Seto Naikai. Well done. I am always at a loss of what to do when it comes to providing a bit of American culture. Everything is so commercialized that people know it the world over. What is next…a good ‘ol ho-down??? Yeeee haaa. |

| 5th December 2006 the gerry | ! - From: Stepping Outside Myself in Tokyo Quite the experience jennie. An incredible read and I'm glad that you were able to take part in it. That is a once in a lifetime chance and i'm sure many other JETs are envious of you. I sure am! Maybe I can train my student to be one of the select few... if he studied outside of school that is! |
