So, on to the next part of the update. You've seen the apartment, so now let's move on to other parts of Okazaki:
This is...a shrine (I don't know the name >_<) that's not too far from my house.
This is a pharmacy in Okazaki that my mother should appreciate.
Near the train station
The city of Okazaki put up Christmas decorations, so it was pretty festive for a while. Also, it doesn't show up very well in the photo, but the tower of lights on the right was made with recycled plastic bottles -- decorative AND eco-friendly!
It's a little easier to see here...
And finally, a very distant shot of Okazaki castle. I'll put up better photos once I've actually visited it. That's pretty bad -- there's a castle in the town I live in, and I haven't even taken the tour yet. This would be an example of that whole "taking-a-long-time-to-settle-in" thing I was talking about in the last post.
So that's an embarrassingly brief look at some of Okazaki; I'll try to take some pictures of the rest of the city when I get a chance. Maybe when I tour Okazaki castle. >.>; Anyway, let me know if there's anything specific you want to see/know, and I'll try to address it here (I feel like I'm forgetting really important stuff). Next post will probably be about Handa matsuri or my visit to Nara, or maybe a combination of both. 'Cause I'm efficient like that...

You're about as good at updating as I am at remembering things. (Also, I thought of you the other day, as I tried to contact Fukuinkan Shoten publishers and there was a complete language disconnect. :p)
I enjoyed the photos though, and those of your apartment. Did you ever get something to cook with? And please do let us know when you visit the castle. You should totally take a flag. ;)
The good thing about sparse updates? I can catch up quickly!
*waves*
HIiiiiiiiiiii! I'd love to have your address, if you're willing to send it to me!
