Brief update

Aaron here. Kendra and I are checking out an internet cafe. Basically, it's a place where you can pay X amount of money to sit in a little booth and use the internet or read Manga, which are Japanese graphic novels\comic books. Anyway, time is money. We're moved into our new place, and we:ve spent the past couple days Ｗａｌｋｉｎｇ around the town to get a feel for it. It:s nice having so many shops walking distance. There is a grocery store on our road called Gourmet City. The food is more expensive here, but the seafood is actually cheaper, so we:ve been eating a lot of fish and crab and such. There is lot to say about when we got to Kobe, and our brief stay with a host family, but I'll get to that in a later episode. God, this keyboard is annoying, to make an apostrophe I have to hold shift annoying, to make an apostrophe I have to hold shift and hit the 7 button. to hold shift and hit the 7 button. So if there is a colon, assume it is supposed to be an apostrophe. Except for the next one.
More about Kobe: Kobe is a rather large city, as most are here, but rather large city, as most are here, but is only a medium sized city are here, but is only a medium sized city by Japanese standards. It:s in the southern part of Japan, right on the coast, where the country seams to bend a little. It:s tucked nicely between a large Mountain range called the Rokko mountains and the sea, on the Southern coast. We haven:t seen much of the mountains or the coast close up, but it:s nice being able to orient where you are based on coast close up, but it:s nice being able to orient where you are based on the ｍｏｕｎｔａｉｎｓ　ａｌｗａｙｓ　ｂｅｉｎｇ　ｄｕｅ　ｎｏｒｔｈ．Kobe is also known for it:s food, specifically these little buns that are filled with meat, and this cabbage pancakes with meat and seafood mixed in. We:ve had both more than once and they are excellent. They are referred to as Kansai food. Kansai being are referred to as Kansai food. Kansai being the southern region of Japan mostly composed of the three cities Kobe, Kyoto, and Osaka. Most people have heard of Kyoto, because it is the only place where authentic Geisha come from these days. If you don authentic Geisha come from these days. If you don:t know what a Geisha is, that:s another episode. We hope to visit Kyoto soon. You can get everywhere by train here. It:s kind of nice, so long as you know where your train is going and when to get off. We took ａ trip a few stations down yesterday to check out some more of Kobe. yesterday to ｃｈｅｃｋ out some more ｏｆ Kobe.　 We went to the hugest mallI:ve ever seen. Think of it this way. There were entire roads running through this mall. Sure, cars weren:t allowed to drive mall. Sure, cars weren:t allowed to drive through, but they were roads nonetheless. We spent several hours just walking through the mall area, which was made up of several blocks, and many stories. I finally found a couple nerdy stores where I can buy magic cards. In stores where I can buy magic cards. In English no less! The language barrier has been a little rough on me. I pretty much just stay at home when Kendra is at school. stay at home when Kendra is at school. That:s alright though. Anyway, good food, nice town, lots more to see, and lots more to fill you in on. Once we get internet, which is proving difficult, I:ll give you the whole story in episode installments. I apologize　for any typos, no time to proofread. Bye.
