I am big in my hometown   

So Friday of last week we had a big one! Crazy... but I didn't feel it... Well what can I say in case of an earthquake in Hokkaido I am dead for sure! I never feel the earthquakes here! Anyways let's say that as soon as I saw the magnitude of it, I called my parents right away. When I call my dad I told him:"I am safe and doin fine dad" he said:"Why?" It was 7 in the morning for him and he hadn't yet seen the news yet. My mom I left a message because she was apparently in the shower. Then my brother called me too and we chatted for a bit and then came the call.... I didn't know the number but it was late so I decided that it might be an emergency of some sort... Well it was the radio station in my hometown wanting an interview live from Japan! I was speechless at how they found my phone number since I only gave it to my family but I accepted. So anyways some of my friends from high school told me that my interview was on a loop all day on the radio! I am now known in my hometown after years of anonymity. And the person that gave my phone number was my dad... he should have had given me a heads up but...

And so another great news, after 3 weeks of rehab and 2 weeks in a cast... I am finally able to snowboard again next week! The nurse in charge of my rehab tole me that I can go next week no problem! So yeah I am very excited to get back on it. Now I can already hear everyone saying "take care this time David" to that I answer "yes Mom".

Also amid the chaos, last Tuesday (15th) marks my 1 year anniversary in Japan. Yeah people I have bugging everyone here for over a year! Milestone that one. Don't feel different but I did finally started studying Japanese again a little bit this week after months of inactivity...

That's it for me, I hope to see you all at the 2 year anniversary party on Saturday the 26th 'cause you know I will be there for sure!

Ciao
