Not a lot of news today - it was a pretty quiet day. We all slept in a bit and I did a bit of work on the computer here before I went into the office. I made a poster for the Halloween party we're hosting and then I spent a bit of time going through files on the computer. There was some good stuff there that I'll be able to use later so it was time well spent. I came home about noon and we spent some of the afternoon organizing stuff here at the house and some of the time lazing around with our book and our computers.
I was told at the office today that there's a typhoon heading our way this evening. Ian went online and found that it hit the main island pretty hard. There were two people killed there. Anyway, it's raining pretty hard and it's a bit windy but nothing too much as yet.
So, that's it - the extent of our exciting day. We have the English movie channel on - it's playing Tootsie - a timeless classic even with Japanese subtitles!
Don't forget to check out the photoshare - we're going to get some more photos this weekend and get them posted right away. Thanks for the emails friends - it's so nice to hear from you all!
Thanks for the photos! The waterfall and park were lovely. How great that you got out to see all the colours before the rains came. Gotta love typhoons. Hope you're not hit too hard. You're all doing so well... I also want to encourage you to pick up some charts in Katakana and Hirigana and you'll feel ever so much more connected! Should only take a week or two to memorize them all. I was excited to still be able to read the "coffee" and "curry rice" banners in the park kiosk photo you posted :) Music is the universal language, so sounds like you'll be GREAT at reaching and "moving" the people you'll be working with. Always remember to laugh at yourselves afterwards - it goes a long way on the "why does everything have to be so hard" days... it's just the learning curve! Lots of love and oh-how-we-remember-now! from Kim and family
ReplyDeleteI have been reading your blog and enjoying reading of your adventures! I hope you are safe during the storm. Is halloween very familiar in Japan? Chris being from England didn't even do much with it before he came to Canada! Stay dry!
