I have been asked to be a contributor to a new Japan Blogzine called 7:10 to Tokyo.   Billy West, the founder of 7:10 to Tokyo describes the publication like this:

“7:10 to Tokyo is an online magazine or blogazine, if you will. It’s contributors are bloggers who either live in Japan or have a strong interest in the place, its culture, and its people. It was designed to be entertaining as well as informative, and everyone involved in this publication sincerely hopes that it will be a pleasure to read for all who drop by.”

My first article titled “Do you want Mashrooms on your Pizza?” is now up and I encourage  you to check it out along with the rest of the site.  Marshrooms you say - what are mashrooms?  The article is about the passion the Japanese have for the English language but how they don’t always get it quite right.

I’ve committed to contribute two articles a month to the site and I’ve added 7:10 to Tokyo to my blogroll so you can check back often to see what going on over there.
