It's been a while....

So, to everyone who I told this blog would be up and running almost as soon as I got to Japan... I'm sorry. That was a lie. Apparently it takes about a month to get the internet up and running here, so I'll have to use that as my excuse. I did have internet at work, but I mostly used it for e-mailing family, as I felt a bit weird using my work time to blog. I'm going to try and catch this blog up to my most recent activities, so let's get started. :) First of all, I'd like to introduce you all to my house. :) That would be it right at the top of this post. I love it a lot, it's an adorable little thing. Now let's go inside!

This would be the entryway into my house, where you take off your shoes. I do it too, even in my own house. It's just become such a habit since I came here.


This is the hallway, once you get into the house. All the rooms are off of one straight hallway.





These next few pictures are of my living room:































The next two are my bedroom. It's the most Japanese room in the house, it has tatami mats and sliding closet doors. ^-^

















































Next up is the kitchen, and my favorite room in the whole house: my shower/bathtub. The room is huge, and I love to just sit in the tub and relax while I read books.





















































And now to venture outside. :) This is my backyard, complete with my little blue bike, which I use to get around the whole town. Whoo for exercise! To be continued in the next post....
