I have also traveled well over 200 kilometers (124 miles) visiting elementary and junior high schools in the prefecture. I have traveled to the mall and into the city multiple times as well. I have traveled over 12,313 kilometers (7650) on my journey so far.
This week I took a charter bus to get to both the elementary school and the culture center.
Definitely the elementary school; they feel so different from our own in the U.S.
It was cloudy and raining off and on all week, but some sun was sometimes visible. It didn't get too windy, but more windy than it had almost the whole time I've been here (except for when the super typhoon hit). There haven't been any snow days yet. Its been around 43-53 degrees during the day. It did not rain as much as usual.
