Koriyama, located in the Fukushima prefecture on Honshu, is our home from the end of January 2007 and the following three years. This blog is our way of capturing our life in this for us so curious yet fascinating part of the world. It also gives our family and friends a chance to see what we are up to. Feel at home :o)
