Nov. 7, 2008 - The Park in Japan
We went to the park with some friends. This park was by the Shimota mall. The lake is another park that we went to. The Japanese have beautiful parks. The ducks were so polite. They walked up to us and then just sat there, waiting for food. No pushing or anything.
We are really enjoying our life here. It is different than anything I have ever done. We drive on the wrong side of the road and we can only go aroun 30-40 miles an hour. I think the fastest I have driven is 50 and that was on a toll road. The Japanese are very polite and hard working. They run to get you something or to do their jobs. Even in McDonalds, they run to get the fries or drinks. We have a man that comes to our house every Tuesday and Friday to get and drop off drycleaning. They are very dependable. Misawa is very interesting to look at. The roads don't have names so everything kind of looks the same. Especially when you can't read Japanese. Their style and ours is very different.
As for living here, people on base are very friendly too. Everyone talks to everyone else and you get together with people to do things. It is like a giant family. There are lots of family friendly activites going on. The base chapel sponsers Awanas so the kids go to that and love it!
If anyone has any questions for me, please comment about them and I will answer them in the next post. It is fasinating living here and such a great homeschool experience!
