Welcome to The Mercers' Adventures in Canada & Japan: News
The personal website of Craig & Kana Mercer. We lived in Kishiwada, Osaka, Japan (Kana's home town) from December 2004 to April 2007. We then moved back to Victoria, B.C. Canada (Craig's home town). We use this site to share our adventures with our family and friends.

  NEW Sasuke/Ninja Warrior Website Launched
 
SASUKE-Ninja Warrior Banner Image 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.

Cheers!

  A new chapter begins at VIHA
 

Last week was my last day at Vigil (again). Today I begin work for the Vancouver Island Health Authority. I will be working as the Quality Assurance/Quality Control Manager for the IM/IT (Information Management/Information Technology) PMO (Project Management Office).

Going from a company of 25 to a company of 17,500 should be interesting. Wish me luck....although I know luck has got nothing to do with it. ;)

  Last day at Vigil (again)
 

Vigil logo

Well here we go again! I've been back with Vigil Health Solutions (www.vigil.com) since returning from Japan and now it is time to say good-bye again.

I have learned a lot during my time(s) at Vigil and while I will miss all of my vigilante colleagues it's time to work closer to home.

Thanks for all of the memories!

  Welcome to the "Archive" version of the Mercers' Website
 
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.
