Photos for article #5- Arrival in Japan

1. My country house, with large tin roof (note: the first set of windows with curtains was the classroom for Saturday "juku" cram school)

2. My futons stacked for more height, with shoji, screened doors in background.

3. Me in my spacious ( 16 mat) living room. ( note: sliding paper doors in background and kerosene heater in foreground)

4. My Kotatsu...the heated table...I did bring back the covers (kotatsu buton)...so all I need is another table here.

5. The red-legged centipede...a little guy, about 5 inches long...Yuck! ( I know you hate the photo, but I wanted you to get the effect...sorry)
