So, I want to try and be able to write as much as I can. Preferably about once a week or so. But certainly there will be times when that won't be possible.
Oh, and perhaps you should check and see if your computer can display Japanese. Here is a test:
-(あいうえおアイウエオ)-
So if that looks like squares and/ or random characters, then you can't display Japanese correctly. You can add support under Control Panel>Regional Language Settings. Well, I think anyway. That's for PC, but I am using a Mac, so I can't really check. I probably won't be typing that much Japanese anyway, because no one can read it....
Anyway, we traveled to Hamamatsu to visit the Hamamatsu BEST club and attend their barbecue and sports day. Japanese barbecue is nothing like American barbecue except for maybe the fact that fire is involved... We ate yakiniku and yakisoba, which probably means nothing to most of you, but you should prepare yourself now for lost of Japanese words that don't have a direct translation. In short, yakiniku is barbecued beef and/ or pork, and yakisoba is fried noodles with vegetables and meat. It's pretty much one of the most delicious things ever when it is done at a barbecue.
Things still feel kinda awkward, because I can't speak very much Japanese, so it is harder to start building relationships at this point, but the students are very excited to have us there, and it's only been maybe a week, so I'm really just meeting many of them for the first time. I've also realized that I am totally out of shape...
