Detailed schedule of my bike ride
Below is my detailed schedule of my bike ride from Kumamoto to Tokyo. I will be starting on the 13th of September in Kumamoto. I will hopefully end my ride on the 18th of October. I attended an Oyakonet Kansai meeting on Sunday and some people have already volunteered (through mixi) to let me stay at their residence. I have a place to stay in Fukuoka, Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga (Hikone), Nagoya, Okazaki, Yokohama, and Tokyo. Some will even accompany me to the prefectural offices. A big thanks to all those who intend to help me along the way. Everyone will be able to follow me on my trip in a few different ways. I will make posts to this blog, children first facebook page, and joint custody facebook page. In large part, my trip is to raise awareness about the need to change Japanese Family Law. More specifically, children need both parents in their life to be happy. Currently, every 3 seconds a child loses contact with one parent after divorce. Every year 100′s of thousands of children lose half of their family. Japan is way behind the rest of the civilized world in terms of international norms. My hope is to garner media attention and support from governor’s of Japan. I would like Japan to finally take the steps needed to make it a better place for children.

It’s been a year as of this month, how have you been. I’m interested to know the outcome of your so called “bike ride” to make a difference.
More power to you!

I guess only one notable thing has changed. The supreme court DVD that says kids need both parents is now viewable on the family court website I think. I am not sure if the family court edited the video or they show the whole thing. Sadly, I must say policy has not changed. More people in high places know about the issue but no one wants to change things. When Japanese parents and grandparents come out in force like the anti-nuke demos then change will happen. > > New comment on your post “Detailed schedule of my bike ride” > Author : Mari fujisawa (IP: 126.214.224.40 , pw126214224040.1.panda-world.ne.jp) > E-mail : marifab0424@gmIl.com > URL : http://Nowebsite > Whois : http://whois.arin.net/rest/ip/126.214.224.40
