Hello from Japan!

Hi!!!!

I:ve been in Japan for about 3 weeks now and I:m having a pretty good time. (no, I haven:t confused an apostrophe with a colon...the keyboard is layed out different here and I:m too lazy to learn where the right keys are haha)

Anyway, things are pretty good. The place where I live is out in the middle of nowhere and the place where I work is even smaller. My apartment is the smallest yet. But, it is really cute and is fine for one person. I will post pictures of everything soon.

I love my school and my students. I only have about 25 students and most of them are young children or their parents.

Outside of school, I have managed to make a few friends and have begun to get situated. I finally have a cell phone and a bank account. This week, I hope to get internet set up at home and satellite tv.

My free time is spent exploring the area (I bought a used bike), going out to eat and to parties with my new friends, and trying to sleep. (my futon is the least comfortable thing ever!) Thankfully, a friend of a friend has leant me a bed to use for while I am in Japan.

Well, I realize that this blog is super random and not organized at all. But, I just wanted to post something to let everyone know that I:m doing okay here and to keep y:all updated.

I hope that all is well with everyone. And please keep sending me lots of messages...I:m a little homesick now, and without internet or English tv, feeling pretty disconnected from the outside world, so they really help.

Cheers!

Chris
