Okay! So, this past week or so has just blown by, though the whole "not home until around 7:30" thing has certainly helped occupy my time. Kendo club is exciting, I think. That's where most of the social aspects of my time at school come into play. I don't think I made mention of the food in my last post, so, I would like to do that here! First off, there is lots of rice. That's definitely a staple. I find that I generally consume a fair amount of meat and fish, along with vegetables (recognizable ones are barely cooked), many of them unfamiliar. As far as the taste itself, It would seem that salty is preferred over sweet, but the flavor combinations are a bit jarring, at first. I'm eating less, doing more, and I've lost about 10 pounds since landing. I've pretty much settled into a daily routine, with the occasional Rotary meeting. If you have any questions or want me to mention something specific next time, I can be reached via Facebook or email, so feel free to send something my way.
