I’ve always been one to keep busy…in many cases I have kept
myself too busy. I seem to always find
myself teetering on the edge of keeping a reasonable schedule. Life is all about balance, right?
After our trip home this summer, we cut things pretty close
when we scheduled only one day between returning to Japan and leaving for our
month of Japanese studies in Aichi Ken.
If I hadn’t had that one day, the transition would have been
impossible.
To keep ourselves busy during the Japanese summer vacation (夏休み-natsuyasumi),
we purposefully signed up for four solid weeks of classes at Yamasa-the
same place at which we studied Japanese for two weeks last summer.
Though this time,
instead of staying in the provided school housing, we signed up for a home stay. It was really Japanese all the time. We loved it!
Our days were
packed with meeting new people from all over the world, studying, exploring new
places, and eating good food.
Our first big
weekend trip would be one of the toughest things I have ever accomplished:
Climbing Mount
Fuji.
More to come…
