Faster Internet

Fiber internet has finally made its way to northern Okinawa. I don't have internet at home, so for the past 2.5 years, I have relied on the dial-up internet at my schools. When one thinks of Japan, 'high-tech' may come to mind. But in a village of 3,000 with the average age being (by my guess) 93, 'high-tech' isn't really in high demand.

But as of last week, Ogimi finally upgraded the schools! Now, answering e-mail (and blogging) is an activity that no longer tries my patience.

So to flex my new internet-muscles, here is a picture from the cherry blossom season in Okinawa last month. (uploaded in seconds!)
