I have arrived. This is a picture of my office in Minamiosumi-cho. These are my colleagues at the Board of Education. The man with grey hair, Mr. Kisanuki, is my supervisor. He is a real jokester. The others are very kind. They enjoy speaking English and helping me with my Japanese. In Japan, the teachers have one office together then go to the rooms to teach. I expected the office to be very organized, but it is the contrary. I�m beginning to realize that many Americans are clean freaks when it comes to certain spaces. In total, I have six schools to go to. I have a desk at each! One school is about 50 minutes away. The roads are extremely curvy and narrow. The vegetation growing along side is thick, green, and luscious.
