So, I just found out my location for the next year in Japan. I'll be in a small village call Chikuhoku located in Nagano prefecture. Some people might recognize Nagano because thats where the winter olympics were held in 1998. Chikuhoku is about 3.0 hours west of Tokyo, in the mountains between Matsumoto city and Nagano city. The mountains are gorgeous and there is tons of skiing and hiking! Basically, I'll be in heaven.
I leave on July 25th, three days sooner than I thought. So I don't think I'll be able to have the party then. I'm hoping to see as many people as I can before I leave. Let me know what you're up to.
As of right now, I will be there for the year, if I can accomplish my goal of fluency. If not it might be longer, but don't worry I'll be back home at some point.
I'll be using this blog page to keep everyone updated, so I don't have to send out massive emails. I'm hoping my English goes downhill... it means I'm not using it!
