We've been settling in nicely here in Japan. Things have been going really well this first week. There have been many new challenges, but it has been a good experience so far. The people have been so good to us and seem very concerned about making our time here good. We are especially grateful for Mrs. Yoshida, who is in charge of the English program here at Kita-Shinoda. She's taken us many places in the last week in her tiny car. This evening, we went to a restaurant where they served sushi for 100 yen a plate. The plates of sushi came around on a little conveyor belt and you took what you wanted off the conveyor and payed 100 yen (about $1.08 CAD) for each plate. I went for the cucumber roll instead of the octopus tentacles. It looked as appetizing as it sounds. I wish I had gotten a picture. Anyway, on that note, I say "So long."
