Welcome to The Mercers' Adventures in Osaka: News
The Mercers in Adventures in Osaka is the personal website of Craig & Kana Mercer. We used this site to keep in touch with friends and family back home in Canada while we were living in Japan. We moved back to Victoria BC from Osaka in the spring of 2007. This is basically an archive of our good times in Japan and hopefully it may still help others living on either side of the Pacific.

  NEW Sasuke/Ninja Warrior Website Launched
Posted on December 10th, 2008
Greetings! As many of you know Kana and I are huge fans of SASUKE/Ninja Warrior, the Japanese Obstacle Course Game Show that we started watching back in 2005 while living in Japan.

Since then we have hosted many a SASUKE/Ninja Warrior party to convert as many people as possible to the awesomeness that is SASUKE/Ninja Warrior.

After returning from Japan at the end of October, I began working on putting together a new SASUKE/Ninja Warrior website to help spread the word, and to give us something to do between shows. The fruits of my labour have paid off and I am pleased to announce the launching of www.sasukecentral.net. Please drop buy and check it out.

Posted on July 14th, 2007
I have been cleaning up the website over the last couple of weeks and here is the final archive version. Here is how it will stay..."The Mercers Adventures in Osaka".

It was fun while it lasted but all good things must come to an end.

  Last Entry...for now...
Posted on May 29th, 2007
Well it certainly was an interesting and enlightening experience being in Japan. We really did enjoy ourselves and loved meeting so many cool people...some whom will be friends with us for the rest of our lives.

But now we are back in Victoria and our minds our set on the things we have to do here. So the website will remain as it is until we decide what to do with it next.

For those of you who would like to have our new contact information, it is:

Craig & Kana Mercer
3246 Admirals Road (Basement)
Victoria, B.C., Canada
V8Z 4N5
1.250.744.7755

We will leave the information up because a lot of it may still be of use for those just arriving in Japan, so enjoy and if you have any questions you can always drop us an .
