Connected

Sorry for the long absence in the blog!
I have moved from Nagoya into my apartment in Gifu Prefecture and has since been waiting for me internet connection to be set-up.
I went through a service called bbapply and they were extremely helpful - its a service catered for foreigners in Japan.

Unfortunately for me that was the easy part. After applying 2 weeks later I received a phone line so my old skool parents can call me on it and then patiently waiting for me modem to come.

During that time I had minor success in piggy-backing free wifi in the area in order to survive.

Finally my modem arrived on the 27th of September and and I applied for this on the 30th August.
So its close to a month - which is the norm here!!

Anyway I'm back and rocking this blog again!
I shall update with more entries regarding my 2 month absence!

まってね〜

Matsuri at Nagoya Castle!!!

My first experience at the Japanese Summer Festival!

It was hot and humid but people managed to pull off their yukatas in style - may need to dress the part next year!
