So not too much to write about. I did just get my information package from Takayama. I really lucked out in my placement. My apartment is paid for by the schools o I only have to pay utilities. The rest was just the do and dont's sort of stuff along with some minor specifics like holidays and sick leave.
I sent an e-mail to my supervisor as the letter in my package said to. I was rather formal in the e-mail, after the 15 minutes it took me to write the 3-4 sentence long e-mail, as I was unsure of what kind of person my supervisor was and really I'd rather err on the side of caution and be overly polite. I needn't have worried. My supervisor, a man by the name of Hidekazu Itou, sounds like an awesome guy. Not only did his reply include little smiley eyes like ^^ this more than once, but he told me to call him Tom. Because all the other ALTs call him that though he doesn't know why. I laughed.
Anyway that's all for now. More to come once I get talking to my predecessor.
