Our friend Ricky has been here for a year prior to our arrival and he’s an avid golfer. While I’m here in Misawa, he will be my golfing sensei. Our first lesson was on the driving range with the goal to just swing and hit the ball. Here I also made a native Japanese friend Ryota. I’m fitting into the culture here at Misawa AB and it’s not hard with all the supportive people around. The community here is absolutely amazing.
