Departure Date!

The news is in, and I must arrive in Tokyo, Japan on November 1st. Let the adventure begin!

Nagoya Apartment

Check out the place I will call home for the next 12 months!! http://www.freebell.co.jp/apts/english/ap_002_eng.html It has 2 bedrooms (shocking) but is only about 500 sq ft (not so shocking after everything I've read about Japanese culture)! The Layout: Bedroom #2 (Guests will have to fight over the 1 pillow!) My Master Bedroom

Living Room (TV gets 3 English channels!) &

Balcony (where I will hang my clothes to dry)

Kitchen / Dining Room -- through the door straight ahead is the bathroom and laundry

My name in Japanese

One day soon these characters will make total sense to me!

New language?!

Kerri needs to start brushing up on her Japanese! Let's see if Rosetta Stone is really as good as the commercials say it is :)
