Hi. My name is Elektra and I am one and a half years old. I was born in Munich and lived there until my parents decided to move to Fukuoka.
Why? My mum comes from Fukuoka, southwestern part of Japan. Yes, she is back home after having lived in Europe for nine years. It is not her who has brought me and my dad to her hometown but he is the one. My dad is a really good bloke. He takes me to the creche every morning and picks me up in the afternoon.
I like it here. It's warm. When we left Munich at the end of March, it was still snowing. I hate cold weather. As soon as we arrived at Fukuoka Airport, I saw cherry blossoms in full bloom and I got excited about the new life we were just starting.
My mum had mixed feelings. She moved to London on her own in 1998 to work there then to Munich a year later with intension to stay. After she obtained a permament residency in Germany, she had never thought of going back home.
"You never know what happens in your life." says Mum.
My dad, being a German, has seen almost all parts of Europe. Nothing new. The land of rising sun was the next destination to him.
So we are here. Having a fresh start. To stay or to move on? You never know. I will keep you posted what my parents are up to.

I love reading about your life back in Fukuoka. I have such fond memories of the place and hope to return some day. Keep up the great work.
