So I finally have a livable in house. Up until now I have had no fridge or gas to cook with or working air con. But today Nick left so the head masters of both the Elementary and Junior high school, head of the board of education, my supervisor and the head of English at the elementary school came and help me move all the stuff from nicks house to mine and got people to come and do my gas, TV and air con. Wooohooo! I have a real house now J. I went to another barbeque at a beach tonight and went skinny dipping in the dark. It is really quite an experience, floating in the water sparkling in the moon light with the wonderful star filled sky of Izena above me…. and a beer in hand. Very fun indeed. I am sure that would not be deemed safe by western standards but its something the locals enjoy (well the younger ones) quite regularly and like I have to keep reminding myself, Okinawans are the longest lived people in the world. Anyway it was a most fun evening. Oh the Shoen Taiko group also brought their drums and played a little bit for the benefit of some tourists from Tokyo. It was interesting to see the Tokyo tourists were as clueless as me about okinwan songs/customs and dances, in fact I knew some more than them. So tomorrow I leave for Naha, I have a JET orientation Thursday/Friday and then some island/beach party for Jets thing on Saturday and then back to Izena on Sunday. So I will post some new pics then. Take care y’all. Peace
