Hello everybody. I kid you not, I am in Japan. Well and truly in it! Yamagata is wedged between the northern and southern part of the main island Honshuu, but not only that - Yamagata is surrounded by mountains! There is no easy way out now so I have nothing else to do except try to blend in and look inconspicuous! Of course - no easy feat when you are in fact the only western face within a 20 minute drive.
After being here almost a fortnight now things are settling down and I am settling in. I don’t plan on making this a very detailed post - I plan on really give you the fine details along with some photos too - once I get the Internet in my house which should be around the 22nd August. At the moment I’m sitting in the Nanyo City board of education hearing people chat in Japanese, seeing Japanese bullitin newsletters and the Start bar on my office computer says スタート (Sutaato). But let me reassure you that they are the friendliest bunch of people you could ever meet. They are really making me feel at home and despite the language barrier being a challenge I am meeting lots of new people and making new friends! To let everybody know - I am in Japan safe and sound and coping well with the crazy experience!
