The contract to sign up for another year in Amakusa is still in my desk. All signs point to me signing and staying one more year, but for some reason, I still haven’t turned it in.<\/p>\n
I’ve had to learn how to deal with kids. For some reason I expected more maturity out of them, but kids are kids. It’s been a lesson learned in order for me to keep my temper and stay patient.<\/p>\n
I’ve had to learn how to deal with living in a remote area. Not that I’m in the worst possible place, there’s reasonably sized places of civilization in close distance, but it’s no San Francisco. That’s been getting easier too.<\/p>\n
I’ve had to learn how to deal with not always being able to communicate 100% with people. Probably just a sign I need to study more Japanese, but even besides that, the Japanese language is so indirect, sometimes the American way just doesn’t work here.<\/p>\n
I’ve had to learn to deal with not having people my own age to talk to. Again a product of location, it’s all families, most young people leave for the city once they can. If anything, I’ll need to see if I can make some friends in Kumamoto City, however that may happen.<\/p>\n
It’s been a learning experience, but I’ll most likely be here for another year of learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
