Okay, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but my housing situation in Japan might turn out to be GREAT. I have quite a few extremely helpful and caring people contacting me, and one girl thinks she is the person I will be replacing. She sent me a picture of her place and gave me a description... and MY GOSH. If I get to live in the same place I will be set! I'd describe it to you, but I'm still trying to play it cool in case I don't get the same place. You understand. smile But most importantly... she has never had a bug problem. I've heard tales about the demon bugs of Japan, but she hasn't seen them... so I REALLY hope I get this place. XD
One thing that is for sure is that I'm getting a house. Not an apartment... a house. Squee!
I might have to drive though. :/ I really don't want to drive in another country. But whatever. This is gonna be great!
Oh, I forgot to mention, I'll be teaching junior high kids in Ohara. The place is around 4500 people. I'll have to get used to that. My high school alone was 2500 people! And now I'm going to be living in a place that's not even twice the size? Everyone is going to be in my business. o.o They'll want to know all about the crazy American living near them.
The size difference... wow, that would be a weird adjustment.
I can't really speak as a driver, seeing as I don't drive, but I wouldn't want to drive in another country, either. I'd be terrified to drive in AMERICA, let alone Japan? Yeesh, public transit for me, thanks! (Mind you, I've heard some very strange and disturbing stories about the transit in Japan... But is that just rumors, or...? @-@)
Demon bugs...? I'm afraid to ask. gonk
That would be cool, to get like, the perfect place to live while you're there. May as well spend your first visit to a foreign land in luxury, no? xd Ah, but expectations... Yeah, it's kinda hard NOT to keep getting excited, because that part of you just HOPES everything's going to be absolutely perfect and not, ya know, explode in your face. ;-;

The bugs there were just wrong. I hate spiders. Don't even get me started on how huge they were. o.O
