And now, for the final installment in my recap of original email journal entries from last year. (
Note: Because I agreed to protect the privacy of those people whose pictures I've taken, by official decree, I cannot post images of my Japanese students nor co-workers here.)
November 1, 7,603,200 seconds! (and counting...)
Rather than inundate everyone once again with one of my lengthy essay style updates, I've opted instead to go a more "eye-friendly" route. (After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?) Feast your eyes, boys and girls, young and old, one and all, on my images of Oirase-cho, Aomori-ken, Nihon!
(For those of you wondering about the subject title, that's my running clock on time spent in Japan; which is also 2,112 hours, or 88 days [palindromes galore!])

| The brief road to work each morning. If you walk far enough down the way, you begin to hear 1930s parlor music coming from a few of the storefronts (no joke!) |
 |
| The front of the office where I clock-in each morn. |
 |
| A typical agricultural sight in Honshu north country. |
 |
| Oirase nature |
 |
| Oirase Lake |
 |
| Oirase liberty! (1/6th replica; kind of "manish" in the face) |
 |
| Kinoshita Elementary School (east) |
 |
| Kinoshita Elementary School (west); student body ~600 |
 |
| "Blue in Angles" —a cool pyramidal building in Aomori City |
 |
| "Goddess Enthroned"—my name for the float I was honored to help pull through Oirase Town in October. |

| Part of the parade route during the town festival (with a float in the background). |
