JAPAN!!
Konnichiwa,
I made it to Japan Ever since the plane landed I have been buzzing around like a bee. I started work on Monday and everyone at work is sooo nice. I get to the meet my kids on Tuesday at the welcome back party were all the teachers have to sing and do a skit for all the students and parents. I feel bad for all the parents and kids who have to listen to my singing (More on that later).
Japan is fantastic. I really do not feel like I am in a foreign country-but more like a separate part of the US considering there are Shell stations and 7/11's everywhere and a Starbuck's 2 blocks from my apartment (very excited about that). My apartment is quite nice and big in Japan standards, I have my own room and the size is 6 tatami mats (try and figure that one out : ) There are subtle differences such as the toilet sprays water from the top whenever you flush to refill the toilet and wash your hands (which I think is quite smart) and all the building signs are in Japanese. My new favorite store is Apita-it is a grocery store and a mall all rolled up in one, its quite and experience-it has everything you need (expect an adaptor,ugh) and its only 2 blocks from my apartment.
I will put up pictures (toilet) as soon as I find an adaptor for my computer, I promise.
