Alive in Japan!

I`m alive, and I found an internet cafe!

I`ve been in Fukuyama for 2 weeks now, and I think I`ve found my way around quite well. I know where to get cheap movies, American CDs, and books. Oh yeah, and this town is full of GREAT craft shops. I need two hands to count all the places I`ve been to that have rooms packed with great yarn. Imagine getting a 50g ball of nice all wool yarn for less than $2. Yeah, it`s like that. I think my knitting will be just fine here.

Next I need to get a basic beginner book in Japanese so I can decipher all those juicy Japanese yarn terms. I`ve got a book that is partially bilingual. It explains Norwegian knitting techiniques in English and Japanese, but the instructions for the projects are in Japanese only. And they use metric, which I`m not too up on.

Anyways, yay Japan!
