About me

Caitlin is a student currently studying Japanese at Edinburgh University (her hometown). In September she will be risking the health of her pale Scottish skin on a voyage to the sweltering-heat of Japan, destination: Kyoto.

How will Caitlin cope with the heat? The absence of her family? Loved ones? Tetley tea? Will she ever stop looking up ways to safely dispose of the dreaded mukade and huntsman spiders? Just what is so special about Caitlin anyway? All the answers, and more, will be revealed on: Shortbread and Sake: Memoirs of a Gaijin.
