Respect brings harmony without being workaholic

Sumi Kuramoto is a housewife in her 30s. She moved from Osaka to Australia in January 2005 when her husband took a place at a vocational cookery college in Adelaide. She is the mother of two boys, ages 5 and 2, and the family is hoping to qualify as permanent Australian residents in 2007. Kuramoto shares her thoughts on life Down Under at: www.adelaidedream.com/

It's been almost a year now since we moved to Australia, and of course we've found various differences between Japan and here.
