We are getting more familiar with the area...Nate went on a 20 mile hike yesterday. None of the streets here have names, so any maps you see just have landmarks written in Japanese, which, as you can imagine, is not exactly helpful for us at this stage.
As we mentioned earlier, Japanese culture is very polite. The expressway that runs through the middle of the island here was a tollway until recently. They removed the tolls as a way to make up for not removing the military bases. However, drivers still have to stop and take a ticket and return a ticket when entering and exiting the expressway so that the toll booth workers could keep their jobs. People here do their jobs very well and provide excellent customer service. This is true even though no one works for tips. You do not tip for anything here!
This is a poisonous African snail. These guys are all over the place.
This is the lake on campus and the bridge going over the lake. Check out the turtle and huge carp in the lake.
This is my office in the new Rising
Star building.
