Kagoshima City and beyond


Rooftop housing w/backyard

It was nice getting off the island but I'm honestly glad to be back. We had 2 days of orientation at the local city office, 4 days of language and culture classes at a mountain retreat and one more day to spend in the big city before leaving. I made some good friends, learned some new Japanese and even got to do a little speech in Japanese at the closing ceremony. While I was in Kagoshima city I had the famous Tontoro Ramen, which kinda tasted like bacon soup. I also got some art supplies, Japanese manga, sunblock, and a Naan Taco (think tostada but on Indian naan).
