A Different Japan

Different person, different Japan.

I just got off the phone with Leisha. We were comparing our experiences since we finished training.

In that time Leisha has joined an Aikido class, started Japanese lessons, visited other cities and made friends with a bunch of English teachers. Apparently there are man in her area. Quite the contrast.

I haven't really made any friends yet, the only Japanese class in my area runs during hours I work, and I haven't even managed to fidn a place to play Go yet. I've got a lot I really need to do before I can think of Shimodate as home. I'm still living like I'm at a hotel... Maybe tommorow.
