It sounds like things are moving nicely over there - some possible job opportunities, and bank accounts and stuff. It all leads to a little independence. :-)

Great photos! Keep 'em coming.

Eggs in vending machines? Bizarre. Lol.

things are moving a little bit, but sadly it's slowed down until next week. it's nice to have my own bank account - now if I could just get money to put into it:) I'll never have the independence I had in the states though until I get a driver's license - which will take many years. it's so hard to get a Japanese license, since I can't just automatically transfer my license like those from the UK or other countries can.

more photos are on the way, but probably not until I return from Tokyo next week.

I'll try to find more weird things in vending machines too:)

You'll get some money, and more independence, eventually. I have faith. And public transport's good in Japan, isn't it? I imagine it's all run very efficiently.

Lol. More vending machines please.

thanks:) the public transportation is great, but sadly we live far from the train station. I do have my in-laws to take me places though. or once I make money there's taxis. but of course nothing beats driving myself around;)

What about buses? Or how about cycling to the train station?

(oops I made a mistake...)

there are buses, and I could take a bicycle to the station, but it might take 30 minutes or more. and I'll have to learn the way:) we're very rural, which is a pain. but I'll survive:)

It's a bit like here then. I'm 20 minutes from the nearest station, 30 min from Oxford station. And the buses only go once an hour from the village.

wow - you're a country girl:) I like being where I am, but I just wish I could walk to the station. it would give me more freedom.

*sigh*

Yes, I love living here, but you really need a car!

the sad thing is, because there are no train stations nearby, it's noisy with so many cars going by day and night. I told my husband that some parts of Tokyo would even be quieter than where we live, and we're in what's typically called "inaka" or country! it's silly. but I don't think we'll be here forever.
