Helene's Trip
We have had a busy past week with Helene's arrival last Friday in Japan. Zach and I went to meet her in Tokyo, and as always it is so much fun to show Tokyo to new people!! Then we had a very quick change of pace as Helene and I went to the Izu Hanto to relax for a week as Zach went back to work. The peninsula is beautiful, with views of both ocean and mountains. It was great for me, as we were in the middle of nowhere, and there were no other foreigners, so I was forced/allowed to use my Japanese all day everyday, which so rarely happens in Kanazawa!! I discovered I could make the jump from survival Japanese to actually talking with people-- which made me really happy! We also took a couple of boat trips, which I absolutely love, as well as a trip to the 5th base camp of Fuji, which resulted in us not seeing Fujisan because of the mist! However, we were lucky on the way home, and could see him from the shinkansen. Now we are off to begin our adventures home and in Taiwan!!!!!
