Homeward bound for 19 days

It's Thursday morning here in Japan and I'm just getting ready to leave for the airpot after 10 days of apartment hunting, car shopping and introductions. A funny thing about going from Japan to Michigan is that I will gain about 1 hour during the flight, arriving in MI before noon on Thursday, I've become a time traveler.

It is currently rainy season here in Japan so in the 10 days that I have been here I have yet to see blue sky. Some days it has been sunny, but never to the point that it was possible to see the sky. During the time I spent apartment hunting it rained almost the whole day and I'd forgotten to pack an umbrella, fortunately the Sugiura-san from the Apartment finding consultant company was kind enough to share her umbrella with me.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Rising Sun when I return for my assignment in just 19 days.
