Rita had drawn me a map to cycle to school (which takes 35 minutes- so I am told!)....bag in basket, I hop on my bike and off I go clutching the map.....2 hours later I have cycled around the whole of Nagano and now back at my apartment....do you think I could find my schoo?! Red, sweating in 40c heat, cycling up hills.....I gave up and went back to the apartment to call my school who sent a teacher to pick me up. It wasn`t a complete waste of journey though as I feel I did achieve something....not only did I prove my determination, I also got a lot of excercise and a bit of a tan!
This is my bike......handy basket and umbarella don`t you think!
The rest of the day was taken up by registering as a citizen and filling out forms. Miyou Sensei took me to the drug store for sun cream (was it my red nose that prompted this?) then to a Japanese restaurant for dinner....I had noodle salad in cold soup with chicken and a fruit yoghurt after.....was really good.
