Having recently returned to Vancouver after several years of living in Tokyo, Tami Ogura is most definitely not romantic about Japan. Amongst her many superpowers, Tami can smell a "rice chaser" far away. Tami previously worked as a business editor for a communications firm in Tokyo (clients included Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Nissan and Warner Brothers) and she has also been around the world as a web reporter for Peace Boat, covering humanitarian, environmental and developmental issues, such as Sri Lanka's tsunami, Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan, and the efforts of Amnesty International and Oxfam in Dublin. When she's not teaching, she is advocating for peace education with the World Peace Forum.
