Our new start, living in Japan

It's been over one month since Adam and I started living together in Tokyo.

I think we are getting along quite well so far.

I knew it might not be that easy living together because we know each other through socialising and meeting daily on the net, and from meeting a few times.

I know it can be a bit hard, getting used to living together, and getting to know more about each other. We need to go through this, so that we can feel more relaxed.

I live in my work place, that can make it difficult to relax sometimes.

Adam is being very good to me since he came to Japan. He is always supportive and helpful and loving.

I can feel safe and comfortable with him. Although I'm sometimes concerned about his health in this cold winter season in Japan.
I hope he wont get sick again as he was very sick over New Years Eve when we were in the fasting dojo in Awajishima, Hyogo.

I was so worried about him, I felt I was helpless!

Since we had fasted, I feel we are keeping in good health.

As for Adam, I hope he won't worry much about our relationship and feel free and enjoy our life toghether in Japan.

I try my best to tell him my feeling when ever I find he would like to know about me.

I enjoyed visiting Yumoenoshima Tropical Greenhouse dome yesterday with Adam :)

Communication ability

I talked about writing on our blog and my Japanese blog with Adam today.


I thought I wrote more about my personal feelings and thoughts on this blog more than Japanese one, I try to write something here when I can find a time to write.


He said that he wanted to read my thoughts here, I'm sorry I didn't realize that he wished that.


As English is not my mother tongue I feel I can't express my feelings and thoughts freely.


I'm a bit lazy also so I tend to write simple words and I think this is my ability of writing English.


If I could express myself more freely in English then I'd write more easily on this blog.


I wish I could write and speak in English as well as in Japanese.


Although I have difficulty writing in English, since I started writing here I found that I have improved a bit, because Adam helped by correcting my mistakes.


It's quite helpful, I can learn how to use better English.


I don't want to stop learning things until my life would end.


I want to learn something even thnough it might be a small thing, I can find a joy in learning.

About Our Blog

We are Adam and Aco. Hello! こんにちは！ We are a happy couple, who successfully maintain a long distance relationship. This is Adam writing, I thought it might be nice for Aco and I to make a blog for ourselves, for fun, and to perhaps share a bit of our story to others who are also in a long distance relationship. Aco gave me the thumbs up, so here I am writing the first entry. I am English, I live in Australia at the moment, and Aco is Japanese, and she lives in Japan.


Adam's Update November 2011: awaiting a Japanese student visa. If I am accepted I will be in Japan in December, living with Aco :)

Welcome to our blog.

こんにちは　Adam とAco です。　最初、私は自分たちのブログについて書くなんてとても恥ずかしくて気が引けましたが、自分達の思いを気軽に綴るのもいい記念になるかなと思い、ブログを書くことになりました。

二人で書くなんて初めてなのですが、世界の中で遠距離をされてらっしゃる方達にもひょっとして読んでいただく機会があるかもしれません。

どうぞよろしくおねがいします～。

Hello this is Adam  & Aco's blog,  I'm Aco.

To be honest I was so shy at first , to publish our blog  on the net.  But I thought it might be nice for us to share something about us with others and that this blog would be a commemoration  for us in the future. I would like to write about daily topic, something we think, feel...

It's first time for me to write about my relationship...I think there might be people who have a similar experience, like us, having long distance relationship, with different cultural backgrounds. They might have chance to find this blog and read this.

Nice to meet you :)
