3月14日 Spring News Well, it appears that spring is here, so one last winter adventure was undertaken. Last weekend Luke, Yoshi and I braved the slopes of Mizuho Highland about an hour from Hiroshima. There was much more snow than when we went there last year and the weather was perfect - hot and sunny! Actually, quite a contrast of feelings, cold snow, sweat and sunburn! So, this time we tried out fun skis (short skis), no stocks involved but they would've been helpful! Now, in theory short skis are like using long iceskates - I guess after more practise they are but round one didn't seem that way! Again, I was rather scared of the speed at which you go down hill especially seeing as though I couldn't master how to stop. Anyway, after a couple of hours I had kinda worked it out and almost had fun... Skiing proved to be easier than snowboarding and less tiresome for the old body.  Luke and I are heading back to OZ next week for a quick 10 day trip - got money to spend, beer to drink and a wedding to go to and drink more beer! Starting April I have a new job teaching at a private JHS's dormitory - sounds like a fun job, I am really looking forward to it.Thats all for now!
 2月19日 Snow adventures againHey there, hello!
How's things for all you folks? Not too bad here, well could be a bit better in that I'm getting worried about getting a new visa as I don't have a sponsor this time round. Anyway, as we positive thinkers think - it'll all work out in the end (just keep your fingers crossed)!
It's has been rather cold this winter in comparison to last - not impressed, but I was brave and went snowboaring for the 2nd time with Luke & Yoshi! And I actually almost got the hang of it! No bruises or seriously painful body parts, just a few achy muscles. It snowed all day long which made it rather cold and difficult to see - forgot about the goggles! But due to the good snowfall this year the slopes were soft and fluffy and easier to navigate. We finished the day off with a dip in the hot spring for some much needed relaxation - love the hot springs!
Other than that, not much has been happening of late. Just trying to stay warm, working hard (not really), having fun and living life as best I know how to with limited resources! Going to a spanish cooking class tomorrow - it shall be interesting and thats about it!
Take Care! 1月14日 Christmas/New Years in the UK Well, a late Happy New Year to whoever is reading this (Not sure if anyone does, actually?!) So, I have finally posted some of our pics from our latest trip up on the page - do enjoy! We had an awesome time in the UK and are now trying to work out when and how we will go back again! Mostly we were impressed by the greenery and old buildings - just beautiful! So, with 5 days in London we did our best to see all the famous places - Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Hyde Park, London Dungeons, St Pauls Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Oxford Street, Big Ben and the Government Houses, The Thames river, and nearby Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath - just to name a few. We then hired a car and drove to Glasgow, stopping along the way at Oxford, Birmingham, Stratford-upon-Avon, and various little towns throughout the Lakes District. In Glasgow we stayed with our friends Craig and Eri and did a bit more sightseeing. We went to Edinburgh, Loch Lomond and various Pubs! Had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back!10月30日 Toyko TripWell October is almost over, tomorrow actually, and the most exciting thing we've done is go to Toyko to check out DisneyLand! It was fun and interesting but disappointing. We were expecting lots of exciting rides but there was only a few! The park mostly consisted of restaurants and souvenir shops. Dreamworld is definitely better.
The second most exciting thing would be that the company I work for, Nova, is currently under administration and heading for bankruptcy! The CEO was a wanker and stuffed everything up and we still haven't been paid for September's work and the japanese staff and middle management haven't even got July's pay yet! Anyway, I have resigned and now have 3 part time English teaching jobs. One is at a Primary school 2 or 3 days a week. The other 2 are at small english conversation schools, which provide work when its available.
Luke and I going to battle it out for the time being , somehow we are also going to the UK in approximately 8 weeks. Need a little leprechaun! Thats Life!
Take Care! 9月21日 Summers Done!As you may all know, or not, its has been ages since I bothered to post anything on this site! I haven't been doing much of interest really so I guess thats why! Also have been using facebook, a lot so you should have a look see.
Well, according to the calendar, summer is over but the weather is still proving otherwise. It's been a lovely sweaty couple of months and much to our disappointment we actually only made it to the beach once! It was a great afternoon of relaxation on relatively flat waters - there was a few waves and some keen surfers trying to catch - don't think any surfers back home would be caught dead trying such a thing though!
Luke and I both survived our birthdays successfully. I did post some pics of the party for all to see.
We went to see Cirque Du Soliel's Dralion - that was awesome. Really long expensive trip just for a circus though!
I have been to a few schools to talk about Australia in the past few months, which landed me in a magazine - famous now! I will post a pic of the magazine.
Otherwise not a lot has been happening. My company is in a bit of a financial crisis but things look promising - just got to wait it out.
We are heading to Tokyo Disneyland next month, providing I remember to go and pay for the tickets!
As I said above, nothing exciting, just life as usual! |
