It's official. I'm going to Japan.
In the letter I received today from the Consulate-General of Japan, I was informed, in no uncertain terms, that I will be heading to Furubira-Cho in Hokkaido Prefecture for my year-long teaching contract.
Being an eager little JET, I proceeded to googlemap Furubira-Cho, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan...only to discover that, as far as Google was concerned, it didn't exist. Considering Google seems to have more pull than the governments of some countries these days when it comes to deciding whether things do or don't exist, I was a little worried.
Fortunately, though it be lower on the I-decree-this-to-be-fact totem pole, Flickr had something for me when I punched in Furubira-Cho. It returned the above picture by Steve McInnes, and I immediately decided that Furubira-Cho was somewhere I wanted to be.
