i've been secluded from america and all that has been familiar and part of my life for the past seven months. i didn't realize how much japan has affected me until cullen was here. its difficult to explain, and i'm not even going to attempt to delve into the particulars. but, it was really refreshing and fun to have a familiar face in japan.
i am making a lot of changes to my life. i've been pretty disappointed looking back at the past seven months. i mean, i've adjusted to life in tokyo...but, i want to accomplish more and get as much as possible out of my time in japan. i extended my contract until next december. i have eleven more months in japan.
cullen took most of the pictures, and there are a lot of them! i'll put the best ones up for you all to see. overall, the winter holiday break was really fun...although, kyoto was a bit stressful. we missed our bus going there. ha...so i ended up buying extra bullet train tickets. then on the way back, i ended up losing another bullet train ticket and had to replace it. but that was the worst part, everything else was really fun. we rented bikes in kyoto and biked probably over 15 miles around the whole city. i haven't ridden a bike since i moved from portland, so it motivated me to get a bike in tokyo! the first purchase i'm making with my next paycheck is for a bike, and i want to bike to work everyday.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
