A Train to Okazaki
I don’t have much time to write this evening as I spent some time studying and playing with the kids next door.
I was able to connect Pokemon Go to their Switch and give them some sweet Legendary Pokemon so they were super pumped about that. It was like they were unstoppable in the game once they caught the Pokemon I gave to them. It was great to see their excitement.
It was also my first full day of school today and overall it was what was as I expected. They move at a pretty fast pace and the entire class is taught in Japanese so I have my work cut out for me, but so far, other than not knowing some words here and there, I think I followed the teachers very well.
I’m looking forward for the rest of the week.
Below is a short sample of the view from the train window during my trip to Okazaki from Tokyo. This train is a local train so it wouldn’t be as fast as the bullet train (shinkansen) that I would have been on for most of the trip. But I hope it gives you a sense of general feeling of the country outside of the big cities.
