Saturday (Nov. 26th) I woke up naturally a bit before 8am, which always makes me happy! Sadly, I once again tried to go shopping on a Saturday morning, thinking that at least by 9am the main grocery stores would be open – wrong! Nothing opens until 10am . . . So, I came back home and wrote about rice cutting then went again and had a successful shopping trip. Around noon Yuko picked me up to go meet with the lady in Kofu who I think knows American Sign Language (ASL). When we walked in the building I saw a group of men signing and I wanted to talk to them so badly! It’s been about six months since I’ve signed with anyone (I don’t really count my meeting with the two deaf at the festival because we didn’t know the same sign language and were mostly communicating with gestures). We found Emi and sure enough, she knew ASL! (More)
