TOKUSHIMA!!

I just received word about my placement in Japan today. I'll be placed in the province of Tokushima on the island of Shikoku in Japan. Now that I have my placement, I am officially a Japenese Exchange and Teaching program participant, and own my title of Assistant Language Teacher. I'm very excited.

Shikoku is the smallest of the four main islands and is located directly beneath the largest island, Honshu. I won't be far from Osaka located in southeast Honshu. I don't know yet what city I'll be placed in, so I don't know if it's a small town or a larger city. I like this placement because it's southern, which means I won't have to deal with snow and sad weather. I had enough rain in Seattle to last for a long time.

Horray!!!
