About Sista in Tokyo

ABOUT THE BLOG

SiSta in ToKyo is a blog created by yours truly during the fall of 2003 as a means for me to share my experiences as an exchange student with friends and family back home.  Now that I am no longer on a semester abroad, Sista in Tokyo now centers around my thoughts, perceptions, and random commentary on current affairs and my experiences living in Japan.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I am originally from Decatur, Alabama and resided in Washington, DC for four as student at Howard University  My initial interest in Japan began as a child when I learned that the meaning of my first name was the Japanese word for treasure.  Fast forward to the college years, my interest increased tenfold and I found myself living as an exchange student in Chiba, Japan during the fall of 2003.

Upon graduating from university May of 2005, I was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship and on the 11th of September 2005 I jetted off to Tohoku University Sendai to begin my new life as a researcher-- for a year. While in Sendai I researched "The Impact of Higher Education on Japanese Women's Career and Family Choices.

At the conclusion of a fabulous year as a Fulbrighter in Sendai, I relocated to Tokyo. Now, I am a professional in the digital media world of Japan and I work as an executive recruiter for leading companies seeking bilingual and exceptional talent.

Hello SiT:

My name is Brandi W. I am doing a research paper for my English 95 class at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, WA. We have to research a place and discuss a common view of the location. Apart of researching this essay, we can interview someone who knows Tokyo, Japan (which is my chosen place). I would like to ask you some of questions of your views on Tokyo's technology advancements. I know you are busy with work and a new marriage, but it would only be 3 to 5 questions. And I could send you my questions through here or e-mail. Whatever suits you. Thank you for taking time to read this. I hope to hear from you soon. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to e-mail me brandiwalden@gmail.com or bwalden42006@tacomacc.edu.
