I live in western Japan in a town with roughly the size and population of a 24hr Walmart Supercenter, though the people here are much nicer and significantly fewer of them go out in public in pantyhose and a bikini top. But people don't come to Japan's second least populous prefecture for it's bustling cities! We have the magnificent Mount Sanbe, who was previously in the business of volcanoing pretty hard but has since retired from that line of work, and the renowned Kotogahama beach, with gorgeous clear waters and white sand so fine it squeaks when you shuffle across it. The nature here is top notch - I've seen wild boar, tanuki, dear, dolphins, squid, hawks, cranes, foxes, and more monkeys than you could fit in a barrel.

In my free time, I enjoy studying Japanese, drawing, using Lawson's free wifi, and hitting the town with friends. I have a guitar, which I cannot play, and hope to get my snowboard fixed soon before December. Tonight I had chicken stew for dinner and it was marvelous.
