Got a job reply!! Fixed problem in comments p
[note: I managed to fix the problem in the comments page (a configuration setting wasn't right). Sorry for the inconvenience.]
Yesterday I sent out a stack of 25 resumes, and I just got my first reply!!! They seemed very interested, but so far are just asking for info, such as my age, background, and intentions for staying in Japan.
Hope springs eternal.
Today we found a really cool bakery that makes **WHOLE WHEAT BREAD**. Yukie and I were so excited we let out whoops. Good bread is impossible to find. Bread is very white here, and even whole wheat flour isn't whole wheat at all. I tried to bake some on my own, but it was a limp shadow of the real deal.
Other things I miss from the US:
But there are many cool things here that I have always wished for there, like the way bicycling is a part of life here, and the cool architecture, and the gardens and flowers everywhere. So, that's life.

Other things I miss from the US:
- Nutritional Yeast. Impossible to find here, and very expensive to ship online.
- Dancing every week. Saturday comes around and I feel a strange urge to call Rachel ;)
- The clients and staff at Goodwill. There is a weekly version of the news for the Deaf, similar to Deaf Mosaic in that it is not interpreted news, but a news show unto itself. I love watching it, and I wish I could send a copy there.
