Well, we are slowly making progress with settling in. When I say "we", I am actually referring to Reimer-Sensei, who has to translate everything for us. We will move into the apartment we wanted on Friday after we do about an hour of paperwork this evening. It is rather large, so we will have plenty of room for company! We'll send pictures once we move in. We were also able to extend our reservation at the University Guesthouse so that we don't have to move before we move on Friday.
We are also very close to having cell phones after going back to City Hall to get proof of our proof of alien registration. Once the paperwork was finished by Yuka (a masters student), we were told we just have to wait one and a half hours to set up the phones. So, in between typhoon bands we will walk over and use our best sign language to get the phones.
Yes, there is a category 1-2 typhoon just west of us, but it is business as usual here. No one is concerned until it is a category 5, and even then, everything is made of concrete, so only loose things will fly around.
We plan to go diving Thursday pending weather, and have spotted a potential car to buy, but again we'll need a translator to help us with this. We took a drive over to the Americanized side of Okinawa earlier and Nate spotted a two story fishing store that we will have to go to as soon as we have a car.
