Hello everyone sorry for the delay. I am in Japan and have been since July 26. Unfortunately Japan loves beaureaucracy so it took me just more than a month to get internet at my apartment. So here we are and I am ready to blog again. First here’s what’s going on with me. Life in Japan is great, I’ll occaisionally update here with pictures from the land of the rising sun. I started school last week and have been going around to my three schools in my town – one junior high and two elementary schools. I am living in a very small apartment at the very north end of the city and am considered the last stop before the Noto (which I will talk about later).

My schools are a lot of fun. All the teachers are nice, but really busy so it’s hard to get to know them because they’re always in a rush to do things. So far there hasn’t been any great culture shock yet, I do get homesick whenever I cook or go shopping, though. I am not a fan of the Japanese supermarket. Mostly I’m not a fan of how expensive everything is over here ($1.50 for an apple). I don’t know how to cook a lot of Japanese food, but cooking the food I know how to cook is too expensive to do on a regular basis.

I need to cut this short before I get distracted, but I’ll end on this note: Shiso Pepsi tastes like drinking Pepsi after brushing your teeth. What is Shiso Pepsi. I can only explain through photo:

Tastes as good as it looks. I recommend only if you want to know what sadness tastes like.

Bottoms up! I’ll be talking to you soon!
