Home sweet Yamanashi-shi

This is a little cellphone photo from the balcony of my apartment overlooking the station building. I've been in Yamanashi-shi about 3 weeks now, and am finally getting settled into my new apartment and into being back in Japan. I still don't have the internet, but hopefuly it will get installed sometime this week or next week at the latest.

Yamanashi-shi is in the Kofu basin area, surrounded almost 360 degrees by mountains. It is a bit strange, but it's a bit unnerving to me to be living in essentially a large mountain spiked bowl . It's the first time I've lived somewhere not bordered at least on one side by a beach of some sort.

More pictures to come soon, once internet permits :)
