Slow Life

We are working on getting Internet access and a car which is our top 2 priorities. The people of our town are on the lookout for a good deal on a car. In the mean time we were told that we could borrow one of the small trucks of the town is we needed to go to the store. It only seats 2, so the kids will have to stay home by themselves.So far we have not taken them up on the offer, but might in the near future.

One more week until Koby's school starts. I asked him if he was scared and he said that he was not scared, just a little nervous. He will be fine, and Yasuko will be going with him on a daily basis until his Japanese language skills become better. He also has the other young boy named Ian, that can translate for him if Yasuko is not around. The school is very relaxed and not so regimented as the American schools.

What I like about this school is they teach real life lessons, like farming and agriculture. Lessons that can be used in life instead of ignorant stuff like outlining sentences and adding a+b=c which you never use outside of school. They also learn the normal subjects, reading writhing and arithmetic.
