Kansai Banzai!

Again, I must apologise for not posting on this blog for a while, but the hectic nature of departing for the Far Side of the World (tm) in less than a month has drowned me.

But here I am !

I know that the NOVA offices in the prefecture of Kansai are processing my application, and I am to be situated at a school within this region. I am happy with this turn of events as it means I am in the cultural heart of the country. In a way I am sad not be a part of the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, but the vast urban sprawl where the city goes on as far as the eye can see, may have been too much for me.

Instead I have Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe to look forward too.

The above link is a useful guide to the region and well worth a look.
