Day 2

Day 2- I woke up around 3:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep so I continued my reading from Jeremiah. Soon after I was able to fall back a sleep until around 6:30am. After everyone was up, we had breakfast from the local supermarket. I got a bottle of juice and an egg and veggie wrap. This cost me the equivalent of 75 cents Canadian. We then walked around our neighborhood and stopped in at 7-eleven where we got Hot Soya Milk. Soya Milk is a staple drink for many Chinese. At about 10 o-clock we headed to Carmen and Karma office. There office is in an international part of town. For an office like theirs it would cost around 15000 yen per month or about $2142 Canadian. It is at the office that we will be tutored in Mandarin by Karma. From the office we headed down one building to register. Unfortunately, Karma received bad information and we couldn’t register there. When we got back to the flat we headed out with Kevin and Wei Wei. Kevin and Wei Wei are friends of Mike from back in Toronto. They took us down to a large shopping store where we bought some more household items and look around. We took a taxi back from shopping and then headed off with Karma to the police station where we were able to register. Today was tiring and I got to bed early. Looking to Him,
Jon Candle
