Well, there's just so much for me to tell you. I should have started this from day one, but I've been so busy! So for now, I'll give you the basics. I found a job teaching English in a suburb of Tokyo called Aobadai. While I'm here I plan on saving money, paying off some debt, explore Japan, and learn as much as I can about Japanese culture and history. This is going to be such a great experience! Who out off all my friends can say that they lived in Japan? I'm so special! lol
Before I go into detail I will give you a general overview of my time here so far. Everything is in Japanese and it's frustrating that I can't read anything (looks like I'll just have to learn Japanese :)), everything is fresh, I finish work late and get home late, and I AM the only black person in this country! lol Nah, I've seen a few. Haha, and every time I see another black person we make eye contact, and give a little nod to each other. It's our way of saying, "Yeah, that's right. You're in Japan, and you're foreign AND BLACK!" lol. We never stop to say hi and bond over being black in Japan, we just move on.
Alright, I'm four weeks into living in Japan. Let's see how this part of my life turns out! And I an tell you one thing...I'm not too keen on the food...I can certainly say that I am still very hungry!
