Friends

So yesterday I wrote on the Yahoo blog for wives in Iwakuni and complained a little about being bored and the housing situation and two of the girls really took me in. I met them this morning at the crossroads. There is Amy, who's 23yrs and a little 2yr old, her husband is a Sgt. as well. Then there is Leticia, she's 23yrs as well with no kids and her husband is a SSgt. She just got back into the Marine Corps and is a Cpl. They took me out shopping in Iwakuni called the You Me store and then to Uni Qlo, right off base. I didn't take any pictures because I didn't want to be funny. But tomorrow I will when we go on our Welcome Aboard tour. Here are some pictures of base though.



So this is my friend Leticia's place. It's just right across the way from us. She lives in a 3brm even though it's just her and her husband. Since he's an E-6 he automatically rates a 3brm. It's nice though, really big rooms and a big living area and the kitchen is nice. I really hope we live on base. My friend Amy lives off base and even though it's a nice house, all the rooms are closed off and would NOT fit our big furniture in any room. Nothing would but our dining room table I think. Not the couches and tv center in one room and the bedroom would fit our bed but not the dresser. So I don't know what other ones are like, but I don't think it's going to work.











This is the Kintai Inn. It's pretty nice. Right behind us is the golf course and to the left and behind us is the theater.


















This is the crossroads and the main intersection on the base I think.















And this is the commisary, which is so super SMALL, you have like 2 brands of things to choose from. I almost couldn't find the tomatos. And on the other side of the commisary is the MCX, the exchange. Which is alright. But this is all around the main intersection and all right across from each other and right down from us.


















This is the commanding officers house. It's in the neighborhood in front of us and near Leticia's.











I had a pretty good time hanging out with them. Tomorrow night we're going to go to Amy's house and BBQ, so that will be nice that all the hubbys get to meet. I will take lots of pictures tomorrow and look like the Japaniese when they're in America. And I'll update again as soon as possible.
