Happy Erika

I got a job!
Went to 2 interviews, one on Wednesday and one yesterday, and got offered both positions. I could pick! So next week I'm moving to Chino in Nagano prefecture to work as an ALT (assistant language teacher).
Have already seen the apartment I get to live in for an extremely cheap rent, and it's quite nice, not too new but not too old, and in a Japanese kind of style with tatami-floors and built in closets. Will post pics =)
I'll also have to buy a car, very exciting! It will be my first car ever, I'm a bit excited =) I'll be living in an area with ski slopes nearby, so next winter I'll be able to chuck my board in my car and go snowboarding! Nice, huh? =)
And I'll have 2 rooms, so if anybody wants to visit, you'll get your own room =)

    Congratulations!!
    So I'll visit you to Nagano, or we can meet Tokyo in June? :)

    BTW could you watch World Figure Skating in LA?
    Lysacek won and Japan can send 3 men for the Olympic... your favorite Kozuka did a great job XD

    Oh, Tokyo or Nagano...Hmm...Maybe it would be more fun to run around in Tokyo? That said, of course you are welcome to Chino as well! With this job, I'll have Saturdays and Sundays off, hope that works for you =)

    Christopher: I guess you just have to go to Japan as well! ;)

    Fredrik: Don't get your hopes up, apartments in Japan are not exactly known for being overly warm ;)
