New Life!

Wow, I feel like so much as happened in such a short amount of time!

Just reading my last blog entry, I remember that moment back at home in Hawaii. that early calm morning on the day I would leave.  Seeing my family and friends off seems like such a long time ago already... sad, but still alright.

Today was actually my first day on the job!  a lot of paper work and training ahead, but I am still excited to jump right into and see where this new career takes me!

Since I moved to Japan, I had a little more than 2 weeks to explore and have fun!  met a lot of new people, seen some very familiar and friendly faces, ate some delicious foods, made some new friends, and explored a lot of unknown places already!

As I sit here in my apartment in Saitama, it's 5 minutes until 8pm, and I just finished eating my dinner.  I have a little homework from work to finish, and then I'm off to bed!  I have a long day ahead tomorrow.

I know I must take more pictures and share with you all, but now that I am starting a new job in this new country, I might not have as much free time as I would like.

I have more pictures of when I visited Hiki-san in her shop, so I will definitely do my next post on her lovely little boutique!  Until then, here are just a few pictures I took on my digital camera.

thanks for all your encouragement and support!!  I cant wait to share much more with you all!  I want to visit more cafe's and parks, since most of the things I see are buildings and city life.  see you later!
