Surviving in Japan is now on Google+!

Hi everyone, just wanted to drop a quick note to say that Surviving in Japan now has its own Google+ page, if you use Google+ at all. If so, do drop by and add SiJ to your circles! Many thanks in advance.

We've also got a discussion going on over there (and on Facebook) regarding how easy or difficult it is for students who've spent time abroad (any kid who has been raised in Japan) to assimilate back into the Japanese public school system after having spent time abroad. If you have any thoughts on the matter, would love to hear your experiences. This is for an upcoming column.

You can join the conversation on Google+ or Facebook, leave a comment below, or feel free to send me an email with your thoughts.

Thanks in advance!
