Here I go again!


Woo-hoo!!  In two weeks time, I'll be off to Japan again, this time to attend a two-week language course in Kanazawa.  I’ll be staying with a host family and attending a 3 hour class each morning, run by the Ishikawa Foundation for International Exchange.  As well as classes, our schedule includes visits to gardens and various cultural activities.

While going by myself is a little daunting, the idea is that I will be more likely to develop my language skills if I’m not having everyday conversations with John in English.  A good theory which has yet to be proven.

The ‘back-pack-only’ travel method is going to be more challenging this time as John usually carries all of the gizmos and gadgets (mini-laptop, chargers, adapters etc.) but I’ll have to carry them myself this time.  I always did enjoy a challenge!
