Hello Everyone!

For the past two weeks we have been settling in at the Kencho and learning the approximate time it takes to get to work every morning. Sorin on bike got there in 28 minutes 17 seconds, Stephen on the bus get there in 38 minutes and 19 seconds, and Bejamin Button got there in -10 minutes.

We have also had the chance to visit Nojiriko to go swimming in its prestine waters and eat from the delicious cafes surrounding the lake.

We have also had the pleasure of welcoming all the new teachers to Nagano! In group A we had 11 teachers and group B we had 13 teachers. Later we still have one more arrival in group C. Sorin claims there is a group D arrival special for Australians, but he also believes ATM's operate by little men inside.

This week we are planning the Nagano Orientation for all the newbies and keeping you oldies up-to-date. Remember you can always shoot us an email at nagano.pa@gmail.com or at our respective Kencho email accounts.
