Another Problem Solved!

 In Japan each household has to take their garbage to a certain place for pick up, usually twice a week. Each community as has a designated space, usually 20 houses has one space. The trucks then pick up from there. If a household has very old people or disabled people the city will arrange a pick up from the house.

When we moved to the old house a neighbor stopped by and explained when and where the garbage had to be put out, there was a space next to the small park on the next block. Moving back here we didn't get that courtesy! I think because we moved into my mother-in-laws house the neighbors thought we knew where the pick up place was! But we didn't. For one month we've had trashing piling up outside. The yard is massive so it isn't a big problem but the local cats kept getting into it, plus I'm sure there are other creatures about!

Yesterday I sent David to the neighbor's house to ask where the trash place is. She told him that there are two places one up the road near the community center, the other place is down the road, a cage near Yamaguchi's house! David just looked at her, who's Yamaguchi?

She explained that we had to cross over the road, walk down a small road and the cage is on the left hand side! Much better explanation than "next to Yamaguchi's house"

Just to make sure where it was Christopher and I had a little walk early yesterday evening. The moon was just rising. I managed to get some photos!

Full moon

One thing with living in such a rural area is that there is very little light pollution, on a clear night the moon and stars are very bright and easy to see.

This morning Mikey and Christopher took the trash. I'm glad that we got that sorted!
