Time For A Change

Over the weekend, Micah came all the way from Kanonji to hang with the fly Tamano crew. The festivities kicked off at Neil's house on Saturday night, followed by a crowded BBQ on Sunday with the host family and most of Tai (two foreign exchange students in the same town, bring your friends!) I promise it was a fantastic end to spring break.

Speaking of which, it is finally spring here in Japan; a time of new beginnings, as they say. The Sakura are blossoming, the weather is peachy, and most everyone I’ve spoken with is in a friendly spring kind of mood. In that vein, I also started back to school today as a second year student. Neil threw a small BBQ party at his house in celebration of Miwako’s new job at the Mitsui Shipyard, and it was a joyous welcome for the coming school year.

But now for some big news: This Saturday, I will move to my third (and final) host family in Hachihama. It is a fairly remote part of Tamano, but also very beautiful. I have been told that I can play guitar in the forest to attract small woodland animals to my location.

All kinds of new experiences, and a little over three months left of my time in Japan.
