Ozu machi is officially my new home! Wow, what a week I`ve had! I had a lot of difficulties getting here (those darn visa applications!), but now that I`m here, all of that`s forgotten. I`m just so excited! I left Friday at 12:30 Imperial time, and traveled for over 24 hours, arriving at Kumamoto International Airport Saturday at 11:20.
When I got to the airport, there where three smiling faces there waiting for me! Chisato san, who has been kindly keeping track of the crazy American all summer, Mr. Yano, who is a big name in the Ozu Board of Education, and Tim, who has been here for three years through the JET program (similar to my situation, though not the same).
Anyway, I`ve been here for a week and I`m totally excited to inform you on what I`ve been up to, but...I`ve been in the internet cafe for three hours now and I`m racking up quite a bill! I will tell you that I can`t quite believe it`s all happening! I`m having a great time! Except for missing my family and friends like crazy, I really love Ozu and Japan and all of the incredibly kind people that live here! I`m so excited to tell you all about my journey so far!
