A Snowy Day

Welcome back readers! Here we are, already at the end of February. Time sure is flying by! It has been almost seven months since I arrived in Japan, which feels so crazy! It seems like I just arrived. I haven’t been up to too many adventures lately, but I have a few things to writeContinue reading “A Snowy Day”

Let It Burn

Greetings readers and welcome back! I know it has been a while since I last wrote, but life has been a bit busy, and I haven’t had much that I felt like writing about until now. I’ve been in Japan for 6 months now, which is crazy when I think about it. Time sure isContinue reading “Let It Burn”

School Festival

Welcome back dear readers! I’ve hit the four month mark here in Japan, and time is getting away from me again.

Horseback Archery, a Temple, and some Kitties

Time is definitely flying by quickly here in Japan! In two days, it will be two months since I have arrived in Japan. I’ve settled in quite well here and am enjoying life in Japan. A lot of that is due to the nice little adventures that I get to have. A couple weeks agoContinue reading “Horseback Archery, a Temple, and some Kitties”

Just Keep Swimming

My next little adventure in Japan was going back to Nagano City the weekend following orientation for a welcome event for my block (the area of Nagano I’m in). The event was held at a nice indoor pool/water park called Nagano Sun Marine. I was luckily able to hitch a ride with some other ALTsContinue reading “Just Keep Swimming”

Orientation in Nagano City

All right folks, here’s yet another little adventure for y’all! Due to Obon (a festival) and another national holiday, I was given off a whole week in August. I thought about going somewhere, but decided against spending the money or adventuring somewhere by myself, so I ended up spending the week mostly cooped up inContinue reading “Orientation in Nagano City”
