Default So, I am in Japan for a year

Had not really mentioned it before, but I am now (since the 21st) an exchange student (somewhere) in Gifu-ken. Kind of busy at the moment, but suffice to say, it's awesome. I will update with details and photogs later.

Nice work. My co-blogger on my site studied in Gifu University, and has many friends there. In fact, the border of Gifu is only about 30 minutes from here. Enjoying the cold?

hmm, would you rather have the Cold, or the Extreme Heat from the past summer? lol
Me personally, will take heat any day over the cold.

No way. You can always put on more clothes if it's too cold, but it's harder to keep cool.

You can say that again! And what with going to school and everything, I'll be sure to make plenty of memories.

Why were you in Greece?

Seeing as you're so close to Nagano-ken, you may be interested in this map of stuff to do which I just made. It's a work in progress, so if you come across anything noteworthy then let me know so I can add it. Things to do in Nagano-ken

Speaking of living in Japan and Nagano-ken, I`ll probably be unemployed sometime between one and three weeks from now, with not much money to survive on. Someone give me a job!! (No, really).
