Internet Finally

Everybody was off to school at the normal time while Evan and I ate breakfast and watched the usual kids shows, one thing I hate about the kids shows they have here is that they play the same episodes all week, so you have them memorized by Friday.

Evan got some of his toys in the boxes out and started playing with them, he is playing with Mr. potato head now. Evan and I practiced riding his new bike today, he did good and I think he will be riding by himself in a couple of weeks.

Yasuko came home at 10:30 am today, we are going to meet the person who is going to look at my computer today at lunch time, we have to drive to Biei town to meet him which is only about 15 min away, we have to get gas in the car also soon, the price has went up to $1.56 per liter.

We met the man in Biei and he followed us back to our house, he worked for about an hour and set up everything that we had to do to get online. He charged us $50 for the labor and $60 for the equipment, so even cheaper than a new terminal adapter. But we are finally online.

Afterwards we filled the car up with gas, it cost $50 WOW! But the good thing is that we don't drive very far to go to the store or the park, everything is very close. Our service costs only $14 per month, compared to $35 per month in America, although the connection here is much slower.

The rest of the day was spent cleaning out email and answering emails, and giving everyone our new contact information.
