Quick Update

I don't have Internet yet in my apartment so I'm typing this from my iPhone. Just wanted to quickly say that I love my new home! After a few days in the huge metropolis of Tokyo, I came to Yasugi, a completely different atmosphere and a side of Japan I have never seen before. Living here has taken some adjusting which I'll cover in later posts, but overall it's great. Here are some pictures in lieu of words.

The view from my apartment balcony. I love that rice field!

Mt. Daisen, the tallest mountain in the area

The delicious breakfast my sweet grandma made for me when I went to Osaka to buy my car

A view of the mountains on the drive back to Shimane

A beautiful sunset on Lake Shinji, about a 30 minute drive

Some pretty seashells from the lake

The street my apartment is on

Conveyor-belt sushi, pretty much the best thing about Japan.
