We're Greg and Jessie Pierquet. We're 25 years old and natives of Iowa and Wisconsin living in Minami-Alps City, Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan.
We are spending a year in the Land of the Rising Sun thanks to the Minami-Alps City/Marshalltown sister cities relationship, which sends a teacher from Marshalltown, Iowa each year to teach conversational English at Kushigata Junior High School.
