Ohisashiburi

Note: This was written a while ago...sorry for the delayed post. Second note: Blogspot is screwed...I can't post pictures here anymore. So, I will prolly be switching to another hosting site. I will let you know when I change sites. I will probobly starts using Multiply.

Hello everyone! Again, long time huh! Sorry about that. Well anyways, I am finally getting settled into my new apartment and life and all that. I am living in Kumamoto Japan now which is on the Island of Kyushu. I teach at a Junior High School with over 500 little brats in it. Classes have just started so I don't really know what to think yet...but when I get used to the Job and everything, I will be sure to let you know.

Anyways, I will add more stuff later...hehehe like when I'm at work and have nothing to do. hehe. (which seems to happen a lot). But for right now I just wanted to add a couple pictures.

Its been pritty crazy lately, every weekend I run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to explore as much of Kyushu as possible. Man I love this island! I think I have been to just about every festival in Kyushu. I have seen at least 1 fireworks display a week...and quite often twice a week. Everytime I go to these festivals I dance, watch fireworks and spend WAY to much on festival food like Tako Yaki(fried octopus), Okonomiyaki (crazy Japanese pancake/pizzas), shaved ice and a whole bunch of other stuff. But its fun. Also, there are always cute girls running around in tradintional Japanese clothes like Yukata or Jinbe.

I don't have a car yet, so getting to these places is usually the doing of other people like Stef, the hottest singaporean ever, or Edwin the best Senpai ever. So its been working out. I do know though, that when I finally get my car, I am going to put ETC (atomatic Super Expresway paying device thingy) and maybe even Navi....of corse, that is after I put a sound system in it! Well, anyways, lemme post some pics and I'll explain some more later!
