New Apartment

Well, it's been a long time since I have put anything up here. Finally, I have regular Internet access and a bit of time (for the next day, then I start work), so I suppose I can share a bit of what is happening. It has been 6 weeks since I moved to Kobe now. Wow! It is HOT here... hotter than Okinawa, in the summer, even! But I think things will start to cool down a little in September, and will be comfortably warm come October. Can't wait! Anyways, here's a shot of my new apartment building. It's really small -- 6 suites in all -- and is situated next to the highest-ranked (academically) high school in all of Japan. No, I will not be working there come September -- my school's a few kilometers down the road and a steep bus ride up the mountain from where I live. Anyways, this apartment is temporary housing for me -- I am hoping to move into something a little more comfortable (fit for two, for sure) in the spring.



久しぶりです。神戸へ引っ越しして６週間くらいになっていますが、昨日はやっとインターネットがつながりました。神戸は、一言でいうと、暑い！沖縄よりも暑い！でも、あと１ヶ月くらいで少し涼しくなりそうです。もう、夏はいい！早く秋になってほしい！（実は、早く春になってほしいけどねぇ。。。）この写真は、僕のアパートです。比較的に小さい建物ですが、すぐ側には、日本一の高校です。今度、僕が勤める高校ではありません。それは、ここから数キロ離れています。今のアパートはとにかく一時的です。春になったら、もっと快適な（２人用の）アパートに引っ越しする予定です。
