A blog is a new experience for me. I suppose everything is lately. I hope that everyone enjoys this and I would love any suggestions to make it more exciting.
Today I am going to make a run to find my schools headquarters because I can't be late for training tomorrow.
I have learned that here in Japan "on time" is thirty minutes early, "late" is when you arrive at the time they tell you to be there, and any form or late is unacceptable.
I have to navigate the subway and Japanese Rail system today. I don't have the best sense of direction and have gotten lost nearly every day so far.
I will ask if one of my neighbors want to go with me today. They seem to know what there doing.
I think that the first two weeks that you move to any new place it is required that you spend at least two hours a day absolutely lost.
Recommendation for travelers, always learn the language enough to understand and ask directions. Or bring a lot of Advil because your feet, knees, and muscles will be hurting hard from your hours or walking aimlessly.
Really cold today. Time to embrace my inner polar bear.
Yay, blog!! I'm sure you must be tired! Being lost is exhausting. Keep up the blogging, and I hope we can Skype soon! Miss you <3
ReplyDeleteThis is a great form of communication give the time difference and the large number of fans you have collected in your world with that infectious personality of yours!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to visiting this site often to check up on you and determine if I need to flee to Japan to rescue you in a minute's notice!
Love, Dad

ReplyDeleteJanelle, have you gotten a chance to hook up with Skype with your new Iphone yet?
ReplyDeletePhil showed me how to also send free text messages with an APP called "text free".
