It is Saturday, and I am at work. As my own personal revenge, I have decided to not actually work on my down time and write this blog entry instead.
Currently, my students are learning weather, and rather fortituitously, I should add. The weather in Japan has been hodge podge lately, so every day I ask "How's the weather?" they are forced to say a different answer.
Life has finally become familiar in Japan, and I feel like I am at home. I miss some things, naturally, like dogs, being able to understand most words that come out of peoples mouths, and macoroni and cheese, but, in general, I like it here.
Of course, this is ignoring the fact that all stores close here at the annoyingly early hour of seven, so one must get one's grocery shopping done during the peak hour of six o'clock. Yet, the convenience store is open 24 hours. I wouldn't need that convenience if stores stayed open until nine, quite frankly. Consequently, after seven, Togi becomes silent. Everyone retreats to their houses, and stay there as they have no excuse to leave it.
I'm discovering that I miss people that I never thought I would miss, but am fine with other's "absence" in my life. It is an eerie feeling.
Today, in any case, I will be going to Hakui to visit Travis who is working the International Fair. What will happen, I have no idea, but I'm sure we will have fun.
