Safely In Japan
Ok so this post is a bit late. I've been in Japan for 3 1/2 weeks now. But to be fair to me, we've only had the internet for about a week and a half. I've been really busy trying to adjust to life here. The biggest difference is not being able to understand the language, both spoken and written, which is all around me. I've been trying to study but when you just want to understand things it feels like the learning takes forever. I'll have to make this post short because I'm getting hungry for lunch, but I promise there will be more soon. I have been trying to keep a hand written diary and am planning to go back through that so I can share pieces of it on here. So the next few posts may have an earlier date included in them to tell you when I was writing them originally. Ok time for lunch, more later.

Yeah its actually a suburb, and a very inaka (country/rural) one, that was incorperated into Kagoshima a few years ago when they did a bunch of restructuring of cities in Japan. We have found two convience stores (one is family owned) which are about 5 minute walks from us. Also there is a grocery store about 7 minutes walk in a different direction. And about 20-25 minutes walk we have a Joyful (its a chain resturant that serves both japanese and foreign style family meals - sorta like an Applebees is in the States as far as quality goes, but much cheaper). We are lucky to have a rather good Ramen shop two doors away from us. Thats it for finding food locally (as far as we can figure out anyway). I'll try to post pictures somewhere soon.
