Employment

I was officially employed by the principal of my school today.  We had a miniature ceremony in his office.  In general formality is a big part of Japanese society (like bowing), so when I went into his office we jumped from informal small talk into this ‘ceremony to note a change of employment.’  The principal, two vice principals, and an accompanying teacher formed a half circle around me and presented me with a notification of employment and we exchanged bows and greetings.

The city is gorgeous as well, I’m torn between cleaning and establishing my apartment or going exploring.
