I chose this method of communication over group e-mails so that you can check in whenever you care to. I am still in beautiful Montreal, departing on Saturday morning to yet another beautiful isle, this one located in South Japan and named Miyako-jima.
These last few days have been rather hectic in preparing all that must get done before leaving for a one-year adventure, and I expect these next few days will be equally busy.
Here is a map of Miyako-jima. The bigger island is Miyako, and the smaller one to the North-West is Irabu, where I will be teaching. I will have to take a ferry to and from work!
