Tales by Saran was started to document this new journey of mine (and ours) moving from Malaysia to Japan. I had put off living abroad since university days in the UK, with work and other commitments taking root in my life.

Who would’ve thought that in a million years we would decide to chance upon a great opportunity to do good in education, explore and live in another Asian country that is very unlike South East Asia?

LIVING IN JAPAN will be a compilation of daily life in Japan – the good, the challenges, as well as an insight into living in the countryside of Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture! Thank you for reading!
