Life in Japan thus far...

We have now been in Japan for 2.5 days and have visited the Exchange twice, the commissary three time, the video store twice and the library once. We are learning our way around the base by walking and taking the bus. It is 86 degrees but feels 99 degrees with the humidity, so we avoid walking if we can. Here are some of the things we have been up to:

We've been able to talk to Grandma Nancy on Skype three times so far. The best time for us to talk is morning our time, which is evening in the States.

This is a beetle Xan found at the bus stop near our lodge and  took a picture of.

Looks like there will be an opportunity to meet other scrapbookers!

Shopping the Exchange Xan-style. To his right is the entrance to the electronics section of the Exchange. It did not  bother him that he was sitting in the middle of the aisle - he was too engrossed in watching the 3D TV, which was playing Despicable Me.

The soda machine at our lodge.

Our lodge. Our room is the two doors on the top right.

The skate park is just down the road from our lodge and is very nice. Xan can't wait to try it out and Will says he doesn't skateboard.
