Back in Japan

I arrived back in the Land of Sushi yesterday. My plane flight was uneventful and relatively comfortable. I was slightly surprised upon boarding that the plane was not a Boeing 777 but rather an Airbus A330. I may sound like a traitor by saying this but I liked the A330 better. The seats were more comfortable and the TV's allowed you to play a wide selection of movies and games on demand rather than showing just 3 or 4 movies on a set schedule.

I am staying at the home of some friends from church while I look for an apartment. They have a very nice apartment in Chiba. They have an extra bedroom so while I am here I have a room all to myself. They are so generous. God has really blessed me with good friends.

Today I've been scouring the net for places to live. I've found several that look like possibilities although they are a little bit more expensive than I had hoped. Since I don't speak Japanese, Shou, my host, has assisted by making telephone inquiries for me. I've also been sending out emails. So far I've arranged one viewing for this evening.

All in all, I've had a very smooth arrival in Japan. So long as I find a decent apartment in the next few days I can say that God has blessed me with a nearly perfect transition.
