Well folks, I'm finally settled and ready to send all the news I can. Not totally sure about this blog thing, but hey, I'm still waking up at 5 am every day, so might as well be productive...
I'm living in a small town in a region I'd though no one had ever heard of, but apparently it was made famous by a photographer named Shinzo Maeda. Most of the "town" is literally in the mountains - houses along windy roads with no guard rails, terraced rice fields and tea and veggie farms - you name it. Absolutely gorgeous. When I first got here, I was staying in the home of one of the town's muck-a-mucks.
Now, I live in low-income housing in the downtown. Downtown is called "Taguchi," and the danchi (apartment building or complex) is called Yage Danchi.
I'd better get ready for work. I finally, after almost a week, have my very own shower.
More pictures (and explanaing) to come!
