The Weather

Actually, the weather here in Japan is quite similar in some ways to New England. You never know what it's going to be like until you open up the door it seems. I have heard the summers here are brutal though and I guess I will see for myself. Last year was the worst on record for about 35 years. So I have been told. Same goes for the winter.

There are signs in "English" all over the place here and it would help me a lot (since my Japanese is terrible) however, the signs tend to not make much sense. Example #1: In the subway station, on the ticket vending machine, there is a button and beside the button are the words - "Press for English expression". My expression was one of confusion and perhaps that is the one they were looking for. ??? Not sure. More examples to come. That one needs to sit for a spell.
