to me it's unsettling because I don't know what they are going to do about teaching English at the public schools. perhaps they will do direct hire through the cities or government instead. but that's much harder for teachers.

anyway. we are still deciding on our future, whether it will be here in Japan in a big city or back in the states. either decision will be expensive and stressful. but that's life.

Piko is a cute bird - she changed my opinion on birds too!
and of course Leo is the best cat ever - and he knows it:)
