I am Japarican: Thoughts, essays, rants, and reflections on resolving the cultural differences between my Japanese and American life (English Edition)

This book takes a humorous look into the mind of a Japanese woman struggling between the culture and ways of life of living in her native homeland of Japan and her adopted home of America. Never quite fitting in anywhere, Nami explores how her individuality has created difficult situations wherever she goes. Her stories will often make you smile knowingly, laugh with surprise, or cringe in righteous indignation as she lays it out, unfiltered, for you to see the inner workings of her mind and heart. If you have any interest in real commentary on American life or if you have curiosity about current Japanese culture and society, you may just be won over by Nami’s refreshingly honest and straightforward, hold no punches approach.
