Where it all began

Kev and I met while living in Seattle. Prior to knowing each other, we both signed up for kickball teams to play on Tuesday nights at Green Lake Park. Although Kev's team chose a series of offensive names, our team immediately chose to be known as "We're Huge In Japan." A rowdy bunch, we wore our baby blue t-shirts and japanese, hand-drawn flag tattoos with pride.

On the first night of kickball, still not knowing each other, our teams battled it out (both verbally over their terrible name and physically on the field). Three years later and a tour of the mid and west states of the US, we are moving to Japan....to truly be HUGE in Japan.

Standing at 5'11" Kev's height will be 4 inches taller than the average Japanese male, and at 5'7" I will be a whopping 5 inches taller...And as if standing almost a full head taller than everyone around us won't be awkward enough, the average weight of Japanese males is 140lbs and woman is 110lbs. I won't speak for Kev, but my skeletal structure alone weighs more than most Japanese women...can't wait to go clothing shopping!

Can you spot the classic signs of Japan?
