Closer and Closer

It's hard to believe that the day for us to leave for Japan is getting closer. We are at 16 days and counting down. We will fly out on the 6th of August for Seattle where we will spend a couple of days with Jason's sister and some of Jason's college friends. We are really excited about this time to relax in our favorite part of America...the west coast.

After seeing friends and family we will fly out from Seattle on August the 14th for the Tokyo/Narita Airport. We will be living in Sagamihara-Shi (city) in the Kanagawa(State) Prefecture. To most, this may mean absolutely nothing so in effort to try to clarify our where abouts go to the link below to gain a visual of our location.
http://web-japan.org/region/index.html
Directions for link:
1. Under "Search By Words" click on the letter "K"
2. Under "List of Prefectures" click on "Kanagawa"
3. At this point, a map of the Kanagawa Prefecture should pop up and the city where we will be living is "Sagamihara
4. You can scroll down to the bottom of the new page that should have popped up and under "Other Local Information of Kanagawa Prefecture" you can browse around and find some beautiful pictures of the region we will be staying in.

Also, to learn more about the teaching we will be doing you can go to the website, www.teachinjapan.com.

We will be writing more soon and if you want to know our physical address you can email me at absttu10@yahoo.com.

Love, Grace, and peace to you all!
The Kuipers
