It took me forever to figure out how to update, since the computer at the Board of Education (where I'll be 'working' after classes if I finish up before 4) is all in Japanese. There's got to be a way of fixing things, but there is so much else to worry about.
If I come here tomorrow, I'll be posting pictures of all the excitement that has gone on: Tokyo orienatation, the Nebuta festival, and perhaps some pictures of my hometown. Counting today, I've been in Gonohe for a week...however, it feels like much less than that since so much has gone on.
One funny tidbit to keep this interesting: on our second day in Gonohe we had our welcoming party. We got flowers and made speeches. And sat with a bunch of random important Japanese people from the town and school who really didn't know any english (or so they'd have you believe...I am convinced that our supervisor knows so much more than the four or five words that she can purportedly speak). I thought I looked quite nice, but the head of the Board of Education told me afterwards that I looked like Hilary Clinton.
I'm pretty sure he was serious. So, looking like a fifty year old wrinkly woman. What could I do but laugh it off? Oh, Japan.
