The training is over...

A random shot of a crane I took last week

Well, my training has finally come to an end. Now I have to teach all of my classes on my own...which is exciting and little scary all at the same time. No worries, though. I know I will be fine and in a few weeks it will all be old hat. Today is my day off so the manager and I went around town getting errands done. So I now have a bank account and a bike... yay! I almost got a cell phone also, but unfortunately they now have a lot of new rules for foreigners in getting cell phones and I have to wait till my health insurance card comes in...strange, but I guess they really want to be sure I'm not leaving the country any time soon. So I will have to wait a bit longer on that one. Yesterday I went to the movie theaters, but I misunderstood that the times showed on the list are both starting and ending times...so I missed the movie I wanted to go see. Hopefully, it will be still showing next weekend (it's been out for awhile). I did go explore the local 100 yen store, which is great for school supply things. I have a feeling I will be visiting that place again in the future...it's very useful in my line of work. I suppose that's it for this week. Ja ne!
