Adventures in Japan

Same as the first

I don't know how many of you have noticed, but we've been in Japan for over a year now. It doesn't feel that long to me. Probably because we spent more than half that time living like transients at Orange House and we've only been in our new apartment for a few months.

Life in Japan is starting to feel a bit déjà vu-y, though. Annual events we encountered when we first got here are popping up again. Same festivals. Same seasonal products. Same special menu at McDonald's. This year there seems to be more baseball fever (the local team is doing well) and the weather doesn't seem so hot, humid & typhoon-y. That, and we spend most of our time working instead of touring around. Sigh.

Finally, if any of you are looking for a way to improve the grammar of your spoken English, Japan is full of books that can help you.
