Valuable advice for expat women in Japan

Even though this is a reprint of the original edition, I found the content still relevant to a recent newcomer to Japan. No matter how worldly wise you think you may be, Japan can be overwhelming, challenging and amazing in equal measures and the book was a great leveler and normalizer for me. In a country where you go to buy a tshirt and the smaller sizes start at XXXS, it’s difficult sometimes to realise there is nothing wrong with you and it’s great to read other women’s experience. It’s a brilliant resource when you’re finding your feet.
