Second "Home" (e-mail post)

One family and half the year are over. More than regrets I have hope
for the future here and back home.
I'm with my second host family now. They speak no English, a welcome
challenge. Their house is big for Japan and "my room" is actually two
bedrooms missing a wall in between. While they don't have a computer,
neighbour's wireless has a guest account. Also, this morning, after
waking, it felt like staying at a relative's rather than the cold "not
home."

  1. ahh, i totally remember the feeling of moving on to somewhere new after not the best experience. so glad you've got a new start, some space of your own, and a good attitude about the whole thing.
    now how about passing on your new address to your sister?
    thinking of you,

  2. Glad to read a refreshed mood in your blog Geoff - your room looks nice and spacious. I like your new outlook - you're sounding very mature and adapted :)
    Much love,
