As I get ready to embark on my trip to Japan, I think I should explain why I am writing this in the first place. As a way to keep in contact with all the special people back home in America. To my co-workers, friends, former students, family, and loved ones this is a way to keep every one updated with what I am up too.
So, here is my first official post. I will be leaving for Japan on July 6th, 2012 for an entire year. It is a scary and exciting step and I will take memories of all of the wonderful people I've met over my time in Florida.
To my students, good luck and keep being good. Do your best and always remember to be respectful, responsible and ready to learn.
So to start here is the city I will be living in. It is called Saitama. It's about 40 minutes north of Tokyo (So I'll visit all the time :-) ! )
Here is a link to give you some information about Saitama: Saitama, Japan
Here is a photo of the city I will live in:
Saitama is a very pretty city and I am really excited to live there. The only thing I am nervous about is taking the trash out! It's really complicated in Japan. You have to separate all kind of things out, and they get mad if you don't! The categories are very strange to... paper, food stuffs, large items, small items...it's crazy!!!
