We had hoped to get a post on earlier than this, but the past week turned out to be pretty busy.
~On Wednesday we were able to join a friend from Tsuyama (the city Erik lived in 10 years ago) for dinner who was in our area on business. It was great to catch up since the last time we had seem him was at our wedding.
~Yoko got a part time job at a photo development store right next to where we live. She picked up the paperwork on Saturday and will be starting soon after a training session in Tokyo. Because this is a part time job, she is still looking for more work.
~Erik completed his first week of Japanese language school. He is really enjoying it and has learned the days of the week, the months, 15-20 new vocabulary, how to count and how to write in Hiragana to name a few things. ~We joined a fitness club very near where we live (did we mention that this is a very convenient location) and went there 5 times last week. There are a wide variety of classes offered along with the full assortment of exercise equipment and a pool. One of the classes that we really enjoy is Body Combat. We box, kick and jump around. In 45 minutes we work up quite a sweat.
~We are staying healthy and not going hungry. Currently there is an issue with food coming from China so shopping takes longer as we are checking where each product comes from. This is a little hard for Erik, because he is frugal and would rather take the risk than spend more money. Yoko is patient and helping him through this.
Look of a new post and for new foods in the next few days as we are going on a little trip today (Monday).
