Kia Ora from Yokkaichi, Nihon
What a ride!
Got here 8.10am yesterday - then got a bus, then the train from Osaka to Yokkaichi. Last night went out with my flatmates to the leaving party of one of them, at a cafe just down the road, and met several other teachers. After that, I went home and had a well deserved sleep (I only managed some sleep on the plane between Singapore and Osaka - less than 6 hours, plus some on train.
Today had Orientation in Nagoya, that was a bit of a mission getting too, if it wasn't for one of my flatmates. After that finished I went out for a couple of beers with the other teachers on orientation - a group of 5 POMs. That was fun. However it meant I got home a little late, and had missed my luggage being delivered.
Its an interesting place, and so far I'm loving it. The novelty is still fresh. English isn't as well known as I thought it would be though. And not a lot of English signs either. Some of the english here doesn't make a lot of sense either. Japanese tv seems to consist of mainly game shows and the shopping network.
Anyway, leave it there for now.

HI Jamie, nice to read about your escapades. Sounds challenging!! Beats clocking up 6 min intervals!!
It has got hot here, I think there will be a bit of sunburn around tomorrow.
Better race I have been away for the weekend and now is catch up time. Have a great Xmas!!
