So we arrived today in Japan. We arrived and our sponsor met us at the airport and brought us to our hotel, that we will call home for the next week. He took us around base to fill out paper work and put our housing together. It turns out that we will not be able to live off of base this year. So we looked at a few “condo” ish places on base. We took a place across the street from the hospital that Star will be working. It is very nice and large at 1496 sq ft.
We went off base for lunch and found an excellent pasta place. They make the pasta in front of you!! Very cool, The bowls come in a lite sauce that you put chives and/or ginger on. Down the order line there are several different tempura to choose from. Out of the five that I picked, I only knew what one was. The rest were fabulous except the battered raw egg. Of course I did not realize it was an egg until it was in my mouth.
Today was cool. Tomorrow we are picking up phones and travelling deeper into Fussa. I am trying to get outside to climb tomorrow or Sunday. Here are some pictures from today.
Enjoy.
