Quick update for those of you who wish to stay up to date on the Nova situation. Probably the most straightforward and authentic website to use to get information is www.nova.ne.jp, which is Nova's official website. There are two English links on it now detailing the exact bankruptcy proceedings that are currently ongoing and what exactly will be the fate of the company both if the government lawyers can find a sponsor and if they can't. I'll also try to post any important changes as soon as I can, but hopefully this site can help with any questions or confusion anyone has.
However on a brighter note Jeff, Ayuko and I have been having an incredible time so far here in Osaka and the surrounding cities. Today Jeff and I went to Nara, one of my favorite places in Japan, and were able to see some beautiful temples and scenery. We were lucky to have great weather today, about 70 degrees, and should have comparable weather for the rest of his trip. I've gotten some good pictures and once he leaves and I have a little more free time I'll start posting them. Since we have been walking an average of 9-10 hours a day for the past three days we have decided to take a day off tomorrow and just be lazy. Maybe go to a movie or get massages or something. Who knows.
