Fried Shrimp Sandwiches, Shaking and Jail Cells

Friday 02 April 2010 at 07:13 am Lets discuss a day. Not a particularly special day but one filled with Japanese adventure nonetheless. It all started with a harmless meeting in a coffee shop with my friend Natsumi. (more)

Villains

Friday 02 April 2010 at 06:43 am Let us describe our day today. It was a fairly standard day. Made a visit to the Shinjuku office for LeoPalace to sign the paperwork for my apartment. Took about an hour and a half and the man helping spoke no less than 4 languages. 4. Possibly more than 4. When I asked him how many he spoke he changed topics quickly. Paperwork finished I made my way into Ikebukuro to meet up with a fellow ALT, and that is when I got a taste of the bizarre. (more)

What a long strange trip it will be.

Friday 26 March 2010 at 6:20 pm I am here safe and sound. Day 2 of training is over. The facility were at is just like a dorm with even less privacy. None of us expected it but so be it, I dont really mind it too much. Its funny having a curfew again tho, gotta be back by 9pm and in bed lights out at 11pm. Its really quite hilarious. Probably a good thing we have the lights out policy tho because we have breakfast at 730 and then right into training until 5. (more)

On The Windswept Plain of Eburg...

Thursday 19 June 2008 at 12:26 pm     Me again. Been ages since I posted and believe it or not I fear that the old man (who keeps this site up) is preparing to disown me as his son or do something even more drastic. Like calling me names or something. (more)
