Week 1 Complete

This is my room. It is kind of a mess right now. I just had the internet installed and i had been laying in the bed talking to mom on Skype when I decided to take pictures of my living quarters to show her. There is like a common area with a kitchen sink and microwave. Then there is a bathroom and a sink room. Another girl and I share that. It is nice though. I have a huge closet as well. Thank you Air Force.
This where I watched the Super Bowl. The TV was small and so was the room. Note that the TV isn't much larger than the microwave beside it.
This is right before we landed in Tokyo. I was fascinated by the land. There was a really cool golf course too, but I had already put my camera up so I didn't get a picture.
These were the glaciers we flew over. I thought they were really cool. I think we were near Alaska or Canada.

Hope you enjoy the pictures, more to come soon.

Ok, so I finished JRC and now I am living on Kadena and going to work and stuff. It is really cool. I would rather go to work I think than school. I am in news. That basically means that I go out and cover stories and then I will edit the video and lay down a narration and "WALA" it is on TV. I don't know much else about the job besides that. It is interesting though and I think I am going to like it.

Wednesday night I had my first real meal out in town. It was interesting. It was noodles in some broth with beef on top. Then a side dish of rice, a side of dumplings (they looked like slugs) and a small desert time thing with a cherry on top. It was delicious. I did pretty good eating with chopsticks too.

Following the meal we went to big dip and got ice cream. It was awesome.

Friday I covered my first story so to say. Cpl Malta and I were going to cover a story, but our point of contact never got back to us. So we went to do some check in stuff. Well I saw some Marines in boots and utes on a field and they were having a pugil stick battle. So we stopped the van, got out, and covered the story. I will have to wait and see what we do with it Tuesday when I go back to work. We have Monday off for Presidents Day.

Last night, me and some people from work went out to Jon Jon's. I have no idea if I spelled that right or not. It was an all you can eat/drink place for $30 or 2280 Yen. It was awesome. I saw some public affairs people that I knew as well which was cool. I really like all the noodles and rice. I think I am going to dig the food for sure.

Today I got my internet hooked up. I am very excited. I got to Skype mom, dad, morgan, luke, gil, nan and gabi. It was pretty awesome. It is going to be nice getting to talk to them and stuff.

Anyways, that is all I have for now. I might venture out later tonight, I am not sure. I have a really good book I am currently reading so we'll just have to wait and see.
