This is a tiny cake Cassie got me for Valentine’s Day. That’s right – she got it for me. In Japan, Valentine’s Day is a day when women give men chocolate – usually in the form of some sort of baked good. Men give women chocolate on White Day, March 14.

Who We Are
We’re Teddy and Cassie McCormick.
We’re currently in the process of moving to Japan.
We’re pretty cool in general.
Food Pics
Some of our friends suggested a part of the blog just for pictures of food we’ve eaten – this is going to be that section! Japan has a ton of fantastic food that’s as fun to look at as it is delicious, and this seems like a fun way to share it with our friends!

Merry Christmas!
I hope everyone had a great Christmas! We’ve had a surprisingly eventful one here – Japan doesn’t hold Christmas in quite the same regard as the States does, but it’s a very big deal in Hakodate, and all our church friends obviously celebrate it.

Finally Back
I am writing this from our Airbnb in Hakodate! A bit later than we’d planned, but at least we’re here now.

Off to Korea
We’re currently packing for South Korea tomorrow! It’s funny how weird it feels to be going to another country – we’ve been traveling a lot in a foreign country up until now, but this is a new foreign country, and it’s strange to think we’ll be in a whole different place tomorrow night.

To Sapporo and Seoul
We’ve picked a path! We’re finishing out this visa in Sapporo, the big city on Hokkaido, and then spending a week in Seoul before coming back.

Looking Back, Looking Forward
We’re nearing the end of our tourist visa (about two weeks), so it’s time to reflect on everything we’ve seen, and time to start figuring out what comes next.

More Scenic Vistas
We have been doing things, honest! Maybe not much… But here is the proof! First of all: It snowed! Alllll day on Monday. So we did stay in that day. Now what should have been first if I cared about chronology: we went to a wonderful church on Sunday. Like, this is our church. The […]

Accidental Adventure
We got off to a late start today possibly due to my chaotic sleep schedule… But this meant we didn’t plan to do anything big or be out long once we did head out.

We Love Hakodate
We made it to Hakodate and fell in love before we had even landed. Honestly. A big part of that is that it is actually Fall here. FALL! When was the last time we got to experience that season??? 9 years ago when we lived in Virginia? Probably! It is beautiful. It is vibrant. Just […]
