Produktbeschreibung

A Japanese Vagabond PART 2 is the latter half of my travel essay, based on my experiences during almost four years of drifting around the globe by bicycle: from the passage over the sea on the Italian cargo-passenger ship to Japan after nearly two years of travelling around Europe (working in Paris), including Turkey, where my way was blocked by heavy snow and severe backache, and staying in Egypt for a half of a year.

Autorenporträt

Mayumi (Yamada-)Shimotai was born in Niigata, Japan. As a daughter of a humble rice-farmer, she was brought up amid drastic social changes in post-war Japan. At the age of 21, she left Japan for new horizons and drifted around four continents, mostly by bicycle. Consequently, she worked in Egypt as a tour guide for nearly three years, and in 1993, she returned home finally. She began working for The Daily Telegraph (UK), Tokyo bureau, as a correspondent's assistant, and later she became a freelance interpreter, researcher, and coordinator for foreign media. Additionally, since 1997, she has been a freelance writer. Presently, she is teaching English to schoolchildren.
