1 Week Update Continued

Posted by Juanito at 06:29


Technically I only got as far as my first full day in Japan in my last post so here's some more of what I've been up to.


During Monday to Friday I didn't really get up to much. I shopped (for food mostly) and wandered around the area a little more and did a little bit of cycling (to WILL (a small conglomeration of shops about 20 minutes walk away (I'd call it a mall only well.... its tiny really))). Also I pottered around the house trying to clear up a little and just generally settle into the place. Did some cooking too but generally nothing of particular note occurred.

On Saturday Lok and I hired a bike (the house only came with one) and the 2 of us cycled off to Nodagawa. Its well....technically its a district of Yosano town. Yosano town is made up of 3 districts - Iwataki, Nodagawa, and Kaya - and as I've mentioned we live in the Kaya part. These districts all used to be separate towns but Admin decided it be cheaper to join them together and in truth after cycling to Nodagawa I couldn't tell where one place stopped and the next started. I did confirm though that there is not very much to do in any of them. But I think with some perseverance some interesting spots could be found and if nothing else there is a train station in Nodagawa (plans to escape are already forming). Whilst
 cycling to Nodagawa we came across a Ramen Restaurant (Noodle Broth type thing). It looked pretty crummy but the Ramen was very nice, will go there again I'm sure.

Sunday included another trip to Will, this time to a nearby Cafe. We ate some lunch and read for a bit before shopping (again for food mostly). I ended up having to carry a 10kg bag of rice home, suffice to say I'll be cycling next time we need rice.

That's pretty much the first week and I'm now well into the second. I'll leave you with a poor quality photo of my current place of residence. Hopefully I'll be taking more photos of better quality as soon as I work out how.
