Radio Silence

Greetings again! Today I will be boarding the Shinkansen (bullet train- known affectionately as the "shink") for my small farming town where I will actually be living and teaching in Japan. This also means that I will have to working such things out as my alien registration card (erstwhile known as gaijin card), post office account, et cetera.

Until I'm a properly registered gaijin, I won't be able to sign up for internet in my new apartment. I also do not know whether I will have access to internet at all while I'm waiting to get set up- so if I'm not responding to comments/emails and so on, that's why. With any luck I will have periodic access to a cybercafe or some such place, but if not it will be a while here.

Stay tuned!
