The Beginning

This is our very first post so I should tell you a little bit about our (Noi - Cheyenne) journey to Japan first. It all started when Ford (Cheyenne's company) offered him a position to work in Hiroshima, Japan for 3 years. When receiving this news, we couldn't believe our luck because we had been talking about our dream of moving to Japan with our family and friends for few years. Not only was it a move to Japan but a promotion and a two month business trip to Thailand before moving to Japan. This was the day the stars all lined up in the sky and we had the feeling of a long adventure beginning.

Over 6 months has passed since that day and it has really been an incredible journey for both of us (well in our eyes it has been) . It hasn't been all rosy and pink and at times it has been stressful, frustrating and emotional but it never has been boring.

After filling up half a 40 foot container (we should have got a 20 foot one) with all our furniture and belongings and then saying good bye to our family, friends and work colleagues, we stepped onto a plane at Tullamarine airport in Melbourne and flew 9 hours to Bangkok and arrived at the new Bangkok called Suwanabumi airport.
