Same Old Story.

I'm so behind on the blogging thing. Since Dede arrived on the 18th of November, we've been running around Nagano-ken, sightseeing and such. I've pretty much taken him to places I've already been to, but this time, thanks to his camera, I have much nicer photos to show!



Cute, cute doggies at a pet shop we came across :) We walked back past at night, and they were covered with a cardboard box; they must be so cold!





Pretty little girl. She was dressed up for shichi-go-san, although it was a little late. I saw her mother later on hitting her over the head :s








Cute, really old bookstore.


Matsumoto Castle; this time I got to go in!


















My favourite shot that Dede made of the castle; so beautiful! But it took time too; I was freezing sitting out on the pavement!





Funny shop that doesn't use racks, only mannequins!



There are many more photos, so I will get to it soon!

  1. Hi there, these photos are stunning. I have been following your blog (from little ole New Zealand) since I applied to Altia and love it. Keep writing and snapping pics!

  2. Hello! Thanks so much for your comment :) I'm always happy to hear that there are people other than my family and friends that take a look! These photos are pretty amazing, my boyfriend is quite talented. However, he'll be going to Hakuba to work soon so it'll be back to my normal camera :p How's the application to Altia going?

  3. It's a waiting game, I guess. What about you? Are you staying on?

  4. I'm not really sure yet, which is a bit scary considering there is only about a month left of work! My boyfriend had an interview with Altia recently so my fingers are crossed he'll get in and hopefully we can be placed somewhere close to each other. I understand the chance of that is very slim though

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.
