My placement.

Geos called today, whishing me a Happy Birthday, and giving me my probable assignment, Okazaki city in Aichi Prefecture. It is 40km south west of Nagoya, so it is right near where I was hoping to go. Some of my Google research has turned up these two links,

and

So there we go, my home for a year (or more.)
