This week we...

had our first earthquake. It was this (Sunday) morning about 7:30 am and measured around 3 on the Richter Scale. We also had our first typhoon (the 13th of the season) come through Japan. Thankfully it went south of where we live. We have been having moments of sunshine but mostly clouds and rain recently. One thing we can count on is humidity. The other day we were out running and Erik's shins were sweating. No need to use lotion to keep our skin from drying out.

Yoko is doesn't have a job yet; she has resumes at several job agencies. We are waiting for something to open up. Erik had his first private English lesson on Thursday. Today (Sunday) he picked up another private lesson. If he gets enough students, Yoko won't have to worry about working.

In our free time (actually, all we have is free time right now) we exercise, listen to church services on the internet, read the Bible, watch sumo (Erik does that), ride our bikes around town, eat out with Yoko's mom, visit Yoko's grandma, and surf the internet.

An earthquake and a typhoon? Wow. Is a 3 strong for a earthquake?? Did things fall of the walls? And is a typhoon on water or land or both?
Thats great that Erik is picking up teaching lessions, hopefuly more will come his way.
