Yeah! I Know Where I've Been Placed:

Well, I found out where I'm going to be placed. My assignment will be in Kagoshima-ken, Sata-cho. Kagoshima is the prefecture, which is kind of like the county, and Sata-cho is the town. The town's population is around 3,500. In a tourist handbook, Lonely Planet, it says that Kagoshima is the Naples of Japan. The climate is semi-tropical and the oceans are cobalt blue. The area is surrounded by National Parks, volcanos, and hot springs. Wow! I'm getting really excited. Here is a link:http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/spn/kagoshima/welcome.html
Go directly southeast from Nagasakibana. The tip of that peninsula is Sata. It is number 5 on the map. I'm at the southern most tip of Kyushu. They have not told me what grade I'm teaching yet. Until then, I'll do as much research on the area as possible.
