I returned to Japan on the 7th in good spirits. But I started to get sick again. Winter's not really all that rough but coming from warm and (usually) sunny Southern California makes for a weaker immune system.

January was the coldest month so far. It actually snowed on several occasions as well. I was back at Tahara JHS.
