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.

Hanging Out
If you’re wondering why there haven’t been any posts while we were in Osaka, it’s because we didn’t do anything while we were in Osaka. Cassie hasn’t been feeling well, and we didn’t have any specific plans in mind anyway, so we just chilled.

The Photo Dump
Here it is, as promised!

Saying Goodbye in Hiroshima
I have my laptop again! This is still going to be a quicker post just so I can get some of the details down while they’re fresh, but I am still planning a larger photo dump sometime soon.

Nintendo Day!
We’re back in Kyoto! But in a very different part of it, so it all still feels new. Our hotel is very nice and homey – as much space as a small apartment – and has been very comfortable. Also, we went to the Nintendo Museum!

Traditional Hotels and Mountain Towns
While we’ve mostly been keeping with the fast pace, we’re staying a couple nights in the same place right now, so I have the breathing room for another post before Kyoto.
