End of the week

JAPAN | Friday, 29 Aug 2008 | Views [1639] | Comments [6]

It’s Friday afternoon and I’m about to lose the internet for the weekend again, since work is still my only regular source. So what happened this week? Classes started of course, Junior High School anyway, Elementary on Tuesday and Thursday afternoon ... Read more >


School starts

JAPAN | Tuesday, 26 Aug 2008 | Views [1463] | Comments [5]

There has been a cold, wet shift in the weather for the last week. Much better than the hot humid days we were having. Summer is far from over though so this probably won't last long, I'm enjoying it though, it hasn't really stopped raining for about ... Read more >

random stuff and an orientation video

JAPAN | Tuesday, 19 Aug 2008 | Views [657] | Comments [3] | Video

I don't have anything to write really, I covered orientation stuff already, but I needed somewhere to put the youtube link of the shamisen class. Completely unrelated, today at work there was a kerfuffle to do with me. One of the teachers who sits ... Read more >


Friday 15 - Monday 18

Friday: The last day of Gunma orientation. Mostly it was a day of Japanese culture workshops. I would have liked a wider range, there were no visual arts for example, some calligraphy or sumi ink painting would have been nice. Instead there were ... Read more >

Big Red Car

JAPAN | Tuesday, 12 Aug 2008 | Views [786] | Comments [3]

The car was delivered, it's surprisingly roomy inside, plenty of head room even for me. The wheel is a bit tight for the knees, but I don't plan on any extended road trips so it's ok. I drove into Kiryu last night to get my bearings as I have a meeting ... Read more >


Hiroshima 2008

Home from Hiroshima, it was a tiring trip, too far to go for such a short time really, but that’s one more international event I can cross off my list. I left Friday morning, after not being able to sleep Thursday night so I was pretty tired. I got ... Read more >

Settling in

I'm at my desk at Kurohone-Chugakko, (Kurohone junior high school). The vice principal has been working hard to get my Mac working on the school network, and it's finally operational. Everyone here is very friendly and have been really nice. Yesterday ... Read more >


Orientation

We arrived in Tokyo at 7 am Sunday morning. I didn't sleep much on the overnight flight over, but got a couple of hours sleep when we got to the hotel. I was lucky to get a room with only one other person, another Aussie going to the same prefecture.... Read more >
