Here's a picture of what it looks like here in Ibaraki, outside of the apartment complex where Sakura's parents live. It seems like a nice place, but I haven't really spent much time outside...mostly because it's quite hot and humid. I think I will be going to see Ponyo (the newest Miyazaki film) today with Sakura and her family, so I will try to write an update about that later. I'm not sure how much of the story I will be able to understand, though... : /
