Today was a very nice day at school. I mean, the day went by normally (we had two periods of a computer class where we typed Japanese and did relatively simple Excel), but after school, my friends from my Kumi threw me a Welcome Party. It was very very nice; we just hung out, ate snacks and drank drinks, and told jokes, played games, etc. My friends also had a Cultural-Understanding/World-Heritage club they wanted me to go to, but since I had to go home by 5:00, I will probably go next meeting. We have also decided we will go to the beach and karaoke sometime while I am here.
Yeah, that is all I can think of for now; I would like to keep this short. I am really liking life in Japan. BTW it poured cats and dogs yesterday, but today it was dry and nice
Okay, お休みなさい！
BTW, BM, I got gifted Pocky at the welcome party!
The beach sounds fabulous. Pls. take pix! And we hear that Okinawa has some amazing whale-sharks that one can see. One question: what does KUMI mean? Does that mean “homeroom” or its equiv? Stay dry, Lama!

How welcoming the students at your school are! And I’m impressed that you can do jokes in a different language! Bless you for being up to kareoke – one of the great horrors of east Asia, as far as I am concerned (there might actually be a You-tube of me doing (trying, that is) kareoke in Thailand!). Love, NM.
