Heading to Niigata




In the morning all the Niigata people gathered to take the bullet train.
Chris, Sophie and I got placed in the same town.
Thought that was lucky, otherwise I would be on my own.

Arrived in Nagaoka station. We received a very warm welcome from the office.
Apparently we have many ALT’s working in the same office as us.

Then we went to the office for lunch.
After that, we each got dropped off at our own apartment.
Compare to Chris and Sophie, I‘ve got the biggest apartment and nearest to the office.

Arai-san and Mary helped me settle in.
They took me to buy a new set of futon and explained to me about garbage disposal.
The apartment was really dusty.
Found lots old futons in the cabinet…. Want to throw all of those away…More clean ups, unpack, and put things away…
Tatami is a pain in the butt…. I hate tatami…especially when the weather here is so humid I am so afraid that the tatami will get moldy and grow nasty things…
