Friend!

Just a quick little update to let some of you know I'm finally back in contact with Fumi! I sent an email to the email address for her phone that she had last time I was here, with my fingers crossed that she hadn't changed it. I was in luck, and she replied straight away! I'm so happy, she's the first real Japanese friend that I made, back when I was living in Launceston. I wrote to her in Japanese, and she was really surprised; in the past we've only ever spoken in English, with a tiny bit of Japanese thrown in there. I suppose now I'm a little more confident, and I'm sure I've improved a lot since then.

Just this second I remembered being back in my first year of University and I had an assignment for Japanese. I had to record a five minute conversation with Fumi, and all we could do was laugh throughout the whole thing! My teacher Go-Sensei was very kind, but politely told me that we laughed just a little too much. Fun times :)

I'm hoping over the New Year break I can go meet her, or vice versa :D Happy!

4 hours until 39 days...hehe

木曽町 (Kiso-machi)

Yesterday I finally heard back from the company; they've received my COE and will be forwarding it to me so that I can send it to the embassy in Melbourne to get a visa.  What's more exciting is that they are considering sending me to Kiso-mach, Nagano prefecture.  This position will be a mix of JHS and Elementary Schools!  It's a lot more rural than I was hoping for, making job possibilities for D a bit more difficult.  However, I think it will be perfect for my Japanese. There isn't a lot of information on the area itself out there, only the tourist attractions and mountains.  Once I have a definite placement there, I suppose ALTIA will send me some information on it.
