It's only less than 2months till we return to Japan for good. It seems like there's alot of time, but actually there is hardly any. So, since I have never been to Tsukuba nor do I know anything about Tsukuba, I started to do some research on the internet. As all my friends tell me, Tsukuba has alots of research laboratories which means it's a surburbia with nothing! When I heard about this, it made me alittle down. To tell you the truth, I have finally gotten used to living in Daegu and then we have to move! It's really tiring both mentally and physically. When I return to Tsukuba, I must say good-bye to my carefree life in Daegu. It's reality time! The reality of supporting my father-in-law who is ill and I must be a working housewife. But in exchange, there is one good news. When our life settles down, we are getting a family dog(Sheltie) of our own. That's something I'm looking forward to! So when I feel a bit down, we start thinking of names for our puppy. I suggested "Tono(Japanese for "Shogun")" as a joke, but hiroro loved it. Ofcourse, we will never name our dog, "Tono" for sure! It's such a foolish name! We 're trying to come up with a name as good as Tennessee. How do you name your pets??
