Takasaki-Shi

Greetings from Takasaki City! It's been a long ride and I'm still not "home" but I'm getting there! I'm staying with a family here in Takasaki, and although I'm almost falling down from exhaustion from the long day, I feel very happy. I taught their 9-year old daughter how to play "Speed" (the card game) and got beat at Old Maid, so I think I'm doing okay. Tomorrow we're back to the Board of Education (where I left several very important documents, including my alien registration card...) to finish up the business of moving to another country. This weekend looks like fun: the Takasaki Festival and maybe some good Mexican food (although not at the same time). Oyasuminasai!
