A Day in the Life of Angie & Travis

We thought you all might like to see a "normal" day in our lives, so here it goes...








We have to dress all professional of course and hurry up so we can catch the 7:30 train.






























While on the train we spend some time listening to our music or watching clips of the office on our Zun since it’s about a 25 minute train ride.









We finally arrive at the school (To-o-gijuku) where we have a most wonderful view of the mountain (this is from our cafeteria window).






















We have chapel every morning and this is the chapel where we will be giving our sermons to over 1,000 students/teachers!! Kind of scary! But very exciting!












We may have to go to the bathroom a few times throughout the day.



















At the end of the day we get back on the train at the station by the school and head toward home.





Everyday we pass this wonderful shrine next to our apartment and finally arrive home.












Our apartment's name when translated to English is called, "the shrine apartments"









We usually put some rice on and let it cook for an hour while we run some errands on our bikes. We may have to go to the local grocery store, go down Dotimachi to get to the 100 yen shop at Joppal or to Ito Yokado for some crepes.







This is Dotimachi street, the biggest street in Hirosaki, Ito Yokado and Joppal (the main department stores in Hirosaki)
































Then, we come back home, eat some supper (we don’t always eat with chopsticks!)




And maybe end the night at Mister Donut!


















So, that is a "normal" day for us! Hope you enjoyed :)
