Jusco is amazing!

Take a Macy's, Target, Walmart, and Sears and roll them all in one and what do you have? Jusco! Love it! Also highly suggest Japanese ramen shops...muy delicioso! We went to Sendai to look at car a coupe days ago. A Nissan Presage, it is a mix between a mini-van and a station wagon, very nice! So very sad about the circumstances we would be getting the car under. Our friends who have lived here in Sendai for the past couple years who have been waiting for us to move here are being forced back to the states! We were so excited about moving here and having them as friends only to find out that because of visa issues they would be leaving only weeks after we arrived! Ugggh! That's life I guess:( But Aaron started observing English classes at the school he would be teaching at. It is a school called "My Eigo", which in english is "My English School". We watched a kid's class yesterday that had 4 girls in it and it was really fun to watch the teacher Sam. He is this really nice guy from London I think. The school is very quaint and it has only 2 rooms, but it does very well and Ryan and Makki who own it are really wonderful people. They have been gracious enough to let us stay with them until we can get into our apartment. Strangers are so much nicer here than in the states. If you ask a Japanese person to do something, they do it with vigor and if you ask them a question they don't immediately know the answer to, they will immediately find out for you!Life feels very much the same here as any american town except just different enough to keep things exciting. I think I will like it here! I'll be in the apartment in Shinjo on Monday. So looking forward to it, ready to be someplace I can call home!
