I’ve been working on a post about getting attacked by caterpillars, but preparations for moving have delayed me. I’ve taken a new job in Kanazawa and am without regular access to internet, so updates may be slow.
My feelings about this are complicated–I’m thrilled to death about my new job and to live in a city again. My new apartment is in a good location and has fancy things like hot-water taps. I can go to Kenrokuen anytime I want, and I can go on weekend trips more easily from the train station.
And yet, I’m going to miss my little oyster town a lot. I won’t miss the commute to get to a pool, but I’ll miss the scenic drive there. I’ll miss my coworkers, the fantastic cafes that I frequented, and the charming festivals.
Treacherous roads of the country!
Farewell, my life in the country, and, hello, Kanazawa!
