WHOOOHOOOOO

ok! so heres a few updates. i think we found an apartment, and i think we move in the 15th. im not sure, theres some stuff we are waiting for and stuff to be done. but if we do get this apt, its a good one. 3 bedrooms, good location (in between the school and the trainstation) big, nice, clean. so thats cool!

but the great news is....today, i went and met kanako in nagoya alone. i bought my ticket, i got on the train and met her there. then on my way back i had to take 2 different trains (well i thought 2) and i was doing great until the one i thought i was supposed to stay on ened 2 stops before my stop... so i was really confused. and i asked someone-in japanese kinda- where to get the train to my stop. she pointed and said something. so i got off the train and went around to the other side. there i asked another question, is this the train that goes to my stop. she said yes! so i got lost and found my way!!!!! horay! i got on the train, and 2 stops later i was at my stop. then i walked about 20 min to the house! so today i was independant and get where i needed to be and didnt get (too)lost. i am so excited.

it was fun seeing kanako in japan. we had coffee and talked then went to a 100 yen shop (dollar store) and looked around. then she had to meet someone else. so i came back. we will probabl hang out saturday also.

tonight i am going to study japanese, and maybe watch a movie.

i found some good cereal here. theres not a huge selection like the US, but i found a granola cereal that i love. and now the rest of the family all eats cereal each day too!

i am starting to be able to read things more and more. reading is the easy part, understanding what i am reading is the hard part. haha. but slowly i am learning stuff! good!

basically i am really thankful for yuki and her family, becuase they are so nice and supportive and helpful! they have helped make this transition easier than i anticipated. good good good!

ok thats all for now, i think ill go have a bowl of cereal!
