Japan Tomorrow

Tomorrow I am going to Japan to get my E2 work visa.  We are meeting the other teachers at 5:30am to head for the airport.  Most of the teachers are used to getting up at noon, since we start work at 2 (Mel and I seem to be the exception to this rule).  Their solution is simply to stay up all night and celebrate Tom's birthday.  Normally I might consider this option, but since I am just getting over my sickness I think I will call it an early night.

School is slowly-but-surely becoming a more organized endeavor.  Yesterday was the first time that no random kids showed up in any of my classes.  Today all of the kids even had name tags.  A different person did the romanization for the class list and the name tags with quite different results.  I kind of go for something in between when trying to pronounce them.  Next step - visa and lesson-plan.  This will soon be a legit school.

I am so glad to hear that you are having a great time! Have a blast in Japan, if you have a chance to see some historic buildings check out their use of wood, the architecture is truly amazing.

Keith, I thank you for lending me some of your brew supplies. It has started me down the wonderful road of homebrews. Today I am officially deeming my first batch of amber drinkable. Cheers!

Raina- how do you know DeAnna and Ty? (I work with them at the challenge course) It was kinda fun randomly finding them on the internet)
