it's not life that matters but the journey...

yup - we're pretty much at the foot of Mt. Fuji. it's great! and in those fields is green tea - or Ocha - those are all around here as the area is known for Green Tea. it's yummy! I do want to get students - but I'm afraid it will take some time.

the house is quite big, but it all goes up. We have three stories: downstairs is the kitchen/living room/dining room area. In front of that is the dry cleaning shop. there's also the bath and a toilet downstairs (in Japan they are separate). Then on the second floor are two tatami rooms where my in-laws sleep, and two other rooms, one of which is our classroom, and the other is just for storage. There's also a toilet on the second floor. And the third floor is one big "bedroom" where we sleep, and another room with big closet space where we have our little refrigerator and a dressing area. It's quite spacious, but what I miss is a yard. there's no yard with this house - though the second floor has a balcony outside the classroom.

Leo is quite at home here - thankfully he's been here before, and he is also from Japan, so I think he feels he's at home. I'm happy when he's happy!

I'm glad you enjoyed the pics - stay tuned for more stuff...
