Welcome to My Blog!

Greetings reader and welcome to my blog! Chances are, you are probably only my mom and maybe some of my closest friends, but if not, thanks for reading and an extra welcome to you! Just in case someone who doesn’t know me happens upon this blog, my name is Brigitta Kaiser and I’m a foreign language enthusiast, travel bug, bookworm, cheese lovin’ Wisconsinite.This blog is going to be about my life living abroad in Japan and working in Japanese schools as a member of the JET Programme. You can read all about this awesome program here if you want to know more, but the gist of this program is that it brings people from all over the world to teach foreign languages in schools across Japan. I am what is called an ALT, or an Assistant Language Teacher, and my job here is to assist a Japanese Teacher of English (or JTE for short). I am also to serve as a sort of cultural ambassador to Japan for the US by being a representative of my country. As part of the JET Programme, I am helping to build connections between Japan and the US at the grassroots level. Cool, huh? Anyway, if you want to follow the story of my adventures, and most likely struggles, of living abroad, you can read all about it here! If you want to make me feel important, you can even subscribe to receive updates on my posts in your email (*cough, cough* you better subscribe Mom). It’s going to be a fun ride folks!
