Business Trip (That's right, moving up in the world)

Well....here I am in Odate, about two hours away from Akita-shi. I will be staying here until Saturday as the school I am teaching at here is too far away for me to make the journey too everyday for a week.

Of course that means I also get a chance to save on electricity and gas since there is nothing on in my room minus my fridge.

At the same time, Odate is kind of boring, minus the shrines and such. I love shrines, but I'm sure that after a few days or visits I will have nothing left to do in the city. Maybe there is a good Onsen (hot spring) nearby.

Well, I'll take pictures of anything that seems interesting. Since this is Northwestern Japan, the city is completely surrounded by mountains.

Anyway, I best get used to making this trip once a month. ^_^
