Japanese and Moving

The Japanese don't generally move as much as North Americans, though there are some people who are forced to move regularly because of their jobs. Once one buys a house, one usually lives there forever. I've never experienced moving until I left Japan. My parents still live in the same house I grew up in and it is nice that I can go back to it.

Luwyn writes in: Hi, I hope you can help direct me to some Chihuahua breeders in Japan as their websites are incredibly difficult to find online! Is there a Japanese Kennel Club, or a national Chihuahua Club? Thanks very much!

You could always import one from your country, but then you’d have to teach her Japanese.
