On Not Having the Internet... Still.

I'm unsure whether not having the internet still is a blessing or a curse. On the one hand I have plenty of time to do other things, but on the other I have very little connection with friends and family back home (I miss y'all).
Why don't I have it?
Money, time, etc.
So: I plan on signing up on friday! We'll see how it goes. Companies like to mess with us foreigners. . . well not really, it's really my fault for lack of my Japanese abilities.

Anyways some new things with me: I'm learning to ride a trial bike (a type of dirt bike) and it's so fun. I already destroyed a rice field when I forgot how to stop. It was awesome.
I also am considering getting an open-water certificate (fancy words for Scuba Diving 101), if I save enough money for it. I'm still looking into prices and locations in Kyushu as I type this.

So how are you all doing? Do you still stop by to read this blog despite its 3000 year dormancy?

Drop me a line, hun.

Hey that would be cool if you got a scuba diving license. (I think they call it "シーカード"or somehting) My mom is really into scuba diving lately, so I will probably get one myself sometime, too!

Wonderful...you're going to be up and running...nice that you updated and happy things are going well... Careful with the trail bike. Make sure your health insurance covers broken and missing parts otherwise the money you save on tax without OHIP will be spent many times over..."Fatherly nagging"
Diving sounds fun. Are the fish as beautiful in Japanese waters as Hawaii? What ever you do "Be safe" but have fun and experience life.
Love
Dad
