The following are articles that I've had published...I hope you like them! Where necessary I've annotated words or phrases which may be meaningless to non-JETs (or non-former-JETs!), and people with little or no knowledge of Japan/Japanese.

*"Why oh why" you may well ask yourselves, "does the Cavegirl need a pen name?" Well, the reason is simple: I've written a few articles for JETFuel, our local JET mag, which gets delivered to work. Many of my teachers can read English (even if they can't speak it when sober)...
