Its been a while since I have updated my blog, its probably a good idea too because I'm living in a different country now. My husband was offered a job to teach as an ALT (Alternate Language Teacher) in Japan. He moved to Shiga Prefecture in March of this year. I was going to join him in August with our dogs. However, in June Matthew told me he was hurting around his neck and went to the local hospital. He got some tests and it turns out that he had a herniated disk in this spine. He would need to have surgery to fix it. So I hopped on a plane and flew to Japan. Now I'm here.
Recent Events:
June 28th- Arrived in Tokyo Narita, took a 2 hour train ride to Maibara where Matthews Interpreter picked me up and drove us another 30 min to my apartment. Settled in. Took pictures of the apartment and posted them to facebook.
Mid July- Matthew took me to Kyoto by train. We rode over Lake Biwa, it was amazing! We walked around city, went to all the geek shops and visited the local mall. It started to rain like crazy!! Hadn't rained like that in all the time I had been there. Took pictures of this as well.
July 30th- Matthew and I went to Hikone Castle. It's awesome. The climb was insane but all worth it. Pictures up of that as well.
Today there are some fireworks, I'm actually not sure what its for, some sort of celebration at the castle but Ill post on that later.
