Well I am sitting in my hotel room in Hamamatsu as I am writing this and I have to say the city has impressed me so far. It has a much more open layout than Osaka does with a feeling that building locations were carefully planned to convey a much more welcoming aura than what I am used to in Osaka. Sidewalks are very wide, the streets are clean, signs in English are everywhere, and to top it all off my hotel was easy to find! So far so good. Unfortunately as I don't start training until tomorrow morning I am kinda on my own until then as there isn't some sort of informal meet and greet tonight, so while I know there are possible a good number of other ALTs staying in my hotel I have no way of knowing who they are. So tonight may consist of watching some internet tv, finding a movie theater, exploring Hamamatsu or going to karaoke by myself as sad as that sounds. Actually I don't think I would really mind that as I love karaoke and I could sing all the songs I love, yet sound terrible at. Seriously though I love karaoke.
