Misawa: The Beginning

So I figured that I should start my own blog of our experiences here in Misawa, Japan.  Kari's Blog will likely be prettier and more eloquent, but if you want to see the sushi that I'm eating, or the quirky things that I often find amusing, then this will give you a little different perspective on our life here.

As you likely know we just moved here 5 days ago, and already it's more comfortable and fun than Sanford ever was.  After a harrowing day of travel, we finally made it to our lodge and collapsed onto our beds.

Since then we've experienced quite a bit.  We've had Japanese Japanese food (sushi, yakiniku, ramen), Japanese Mexican food, and American fast food, courtesy of the on-base shops.  We went to the cell phone shop and after a lot of nodding and shaking of heads, got our new cell phones, and we found a cool little souvenir shop just off base that had a lot of fun Japanese things, and even more over-priced American novelties (They even have Pringles Celeana).

Aside from that, we've spent a lot of time filling out paperwork, searching for cars and housing, and all the other little things that come along with moving to a new place.  We're hoping to settle down very soon and begin some new friendships and experience some wonderful new things!

And we're off!
