A Few Firsts

My First Japanese Pun! I came up with it completely on my own!

How does Zuma say "Hello"?                    .....Konnichihuahua!

Today marks the inaugural use of my heated table. It is wonderful! I'm sitting in a cold house with warm and toasty legs. It's basically a coffee table with a small heater below, and you can lift the top to put a blanket between the table cover and the heater, so that it keeps the warmth gathered around your legs. It's quite nice.

Someone described the seasons in Nishihara as going from Summer to Winter, and I can understand why. It got cold FAST! One day I'm jogging in my shorts and sweating from the intense humidity, and then two days later I'm pulling out the turtlenecks! I'm told our location next to the mountain makes this village particularly susceptible to cold winds and cold winters. What a bummer. I was rather looking forward to a nice, brisk fall.

And...I lied. There are only two firsts listed here. That's ok. It was mostly the pun that I wanted to brag about. You can be sure I will be listing more as I flex my pun-muscles in this new language.
