It's a girl!
Here she is...My little '97 Honda Life.
She's a sweet little car. I think she's a really happy car, and that she had a good owner before me. No name yet, but I still dig her quite a bit.
Anyway, now I that I have wheels, I feel a lot freer somehow. No more relying on the bus to get me home on Toyohama/Toyoshima days. All four months of dusty driving experience are being put to the test!
Had a pleasant visit with two Kure JETs who started the program when I did. Their names are Beth and Vicky, and they come from Australia and Ireland, respectively. About three weeks ago, Vicky emailed me and asked if she and Beth could come for a visit one weekend. I was so flattered that they wanted to see me and see where I lived. We actually haven't had a meeting with all the BOE JETs since the beginning of August, so I hadn't actually seen any of the Kure kids for a while. So Vicky and Beth came to see me instead. ^__^
From the crappy bus trip and ferry riding and such, they began to understand the appeal of just staying where I was most of the time. ^^; They came home with me after a conference on Friday, and I drove them around my stomping grounds without managing to physically damage any of us. We even went the extra four minutes over one of the (many) bridges connecting my island to its brothers and sisters, and checked out the view from nearby Ehime-ken in Shikoku. It was nice to have guests. It was nice to cook for more than one person and watch Sixteen Candles together.
