Finally......

Today I was just sitting upstairs talking to Bonita, when Arnie brought me an envelope for me that came in the mail. Just to let you know the only thing I could actually understand was my name. So I opened it.... It was my new bank card for my Japan account. Which is probably not as exciting as you were hoping. But you know all the papers you get in the same envelope when you first get a new bank card? Well, I finally had an excuse not to read them. But now I officially have a bank account in Japan, how many people in Calgary can say that?

On another note, but still about mail. I want to inform you about what I have gotten in the mail from my family and friends so far. To many people it might not be as exciting as it was for me. About three weeks after I arrived I got a card from Pa, Nan, Sara, 2-E, and Janet, which was great in it's self but lets not forget that it was a Starbucks card. Then a little after that I got a card from my sister which was great written in both English and Japanese just in case I couldn't read English. Just before Valentine's Day I got a parcel from Nan and Pa, only expecting things from them, I opened it to find TWO POUNDS OF STARBUCKS COFFEE sent to me from Cathy and my crew. Also, A little package from Mikayla with a few teddy bear which I may or may not sleep with and a card. Then from Nan and Pa I got another teddy which might have found his way to my bed as well and a book titled "The Gospel According To Starbucks". Life was great for me that day! Then just a few days ago I got a giraffe's sent in the mail, again how great can you get, Grandpa and Grandma sent me one of those foam mailing cards, I am probably one of the rare 19 year olds that would get a kick out of that, but I guess that's what makes me me!
