Today I just found out that I have been placed in Aomori Prefecture. Being placed there is kind of funny. When I applied I listed Nara Prefecture as my first choice and I actually didn't even rank Aomori, however last year for Christmas my parents gave me snowboarding lessons. I found that I loved it and after doing a little bit of googling I had found that I really wished that I had put Aomori as one of my top choices as they have a lot of places to go snowboarding there. Oddly enough, that is where I got assigned. Kind of funny how life works out sometimes.
I haven't been assigned a specific city yet, but I am hoping that I either get placed in or around Aomori City as it is near two ski resorts, and they have a major JR station and an airport there so it would make traveling much easier.
