Adventures were supposed to begin in September 2020. Due to COVID, it was then some time after January 10th. Then around FEB Its was a long year but it was confirmed that we would arrive on October 17, 2021. I arrived in Japan to be quarantined at the Keio Plaza Hotel for 14 days. Then it was off to cozy little Hashima City in Gifu Prefecture where I lived in another hotel for 3 more weeks while my apartment got sorted. I now live, work as an ALT, and explore obscure, and some not-so-obscure, alternatives in Japan! (and drink with the locals)
