.. {pronounced: hisashiburi desu.
meaning: It’s been a long time.}
I really need to get on here more. I have been writing (and reading..) a lot, but I’m always self-conscious about what I share with others.
そして、I have three stories going all at once, and I’m not sure which to stick with and work on first- so that’s not really helping with the lack of productivity.
As for some real news:
I am leaving a week from Monday for Japan! I’ll be in Nagasaki & Fukuoka , and I cannot wait!
I’ll be bringing my Nikon, and hope to get some good photographs during my stay. I would have liked to bring my Canon, as it is the superior camera (obviously- I am so biased) and I love it, but I need to buy a new lens!
I will be living with host families in their respective cities, and I hope that it goes really well. I know nothing of my family in Fukuoka, but that my host parents in Nagasaki are young, with a young daughter and a baby boy. I’m thinking that I’ll probably identify with them more as a friend than as parents! Nonetheless- I am ecstatic! I hope they’re as excited as I am. I’ll also bring them some small New England gifts that I hope they will like.
Well, I guess that’s about all for now.
