Dede's Visit

Well Christmas will be here in a few days, but it's really not feeling like it. Dede left yesterday, and I was quite upset. I'm fine now, just a little lonely. I don't know what to do with myself again! I cleaned today, started thinking about what I should cook/buy for the Christmas get-together I'm having. It's also freezing, and will continue to get colder. I used to complain about Hobart weather, but now I actually miss it. I remember I could still wear a dress and stockings and be warm enough. Here, I would not even dare!

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.
