Aha! so i did remember to blog!

unless of course this never goes up on my blog... not that i expect it not to... i think.

Anyway pictures! I have been a bit random with where i have taken my camera so dont expect any of christmas, i think... but expect plenty from last weekends bowling escapades. (wasnt sure whether to use escapade or caper there... i feel i made the right choice)

So without further ado!














If you cant tell these two pictures are again from halloween but this time a mix of two styles. Absolutely no points/bonus/or any other type of reward for guessing the different costumes mixed up here.

This one is also from the halloween party, two more of my students.. not much to say except their really funny and cool.

Probably the lesson i look forward to teaching most.








This one is just a random i took of my old manager and three of the students from that great lesson. The girl on the far right is Mariko, the next girl is my xmanager, takako, the next along is Masahiro and finally takahiro.

In case u wanted to know...







This was the last of the first batch of photos i took and put on the pc. Its from this "professional" hiphop night i went to... i didnt do any hopping I might add, since im crap (this includes hipping too).

I got really annoyed with this evening actually cos they had a hiphop "dance off". Not the same as zoolander. Like a tourney structured event. However everytime a guy came on who performed an outstanding move he always lost, so we came to the conclusion it was rigged... and sure enough the guy who won was a friend of the judges.... hmmm...

The guys name is Eduardo and he's spanish. Hes so cool hes the spanish twin of ther fonz... honest to god hes crazy awesome.

hey

Well, i have to say sorry again... Im such a slow poster! Tho still faster than rich or fred i might add...but i wont. However i must say that my complete lack of posting is not due to just laziness, i have actually done stuff and things. Plus i got a new webcam because the old one wasnt compatible with my computer... hopefullyill be able to skype with u guys now when u want.

Will and pete, that means teamspeak for you.

when i get home tonight i will post again and put up some pictures, maybe even do two posts since 5 pics per post is the limit.

Ok...

Im not late with this post, as some of you might think, because it is still the weekend for me!

So with this new post i will be [utting up alot of pictures that i should of put up alpong time ago.

so without further ado... the halloween party!




























... Three photos, two are of my students and my coworker and myelf, the last one is of my three coworkers, two of which have now left GEOS koriyama. The woman on the right quit completely and the woman in the middle has now moved to a different GEOS at the behest of our overlord masters.

here she is again, the reasoning for the extra photos and my lament at her parting is that she was the first friend i had in Japan.. so it was kinda surprising and upsetting for her to go.



















The last photo is of a random beauty feature installed near my house that i thought would look nice on camera, it does i feel. More recent photos coming up soon

Eep

As u all probably know i am pretty much the most forgetful preson who ever lived, its amazing i have even remembered to type this!
Yesterday I paid in the latest, on time, bill possibly ever paid ever. Ever ever... ever.
Anyway forgetting my point,.... ah. I was working yesterday and it occured to me that i hadnt paid my bills in a while and this got me worried. I always take my post to work so my co-workers can help me read it, but it seems i had forgotten to do that as well (meh what u gonna do...).
So my manager sat down with me and we went through them all and found that I still had two bills to pay. Much less than i thought, but still i was too late for one of them. However the seconds deadline ran out yesterday and i was working all the way through till 9:00PM.

So my manager phoned up the gas company and was told just to drop it at the security guard on my way home. I went there after school and the guard had not been told... so he wouldnt take it. Fear of loss of job, or some such reason. I had to phone my Japanese friend and have a 3 way conversation over one phone, because neither of us spoke the others language and eventually i got the bill paid at 11:30... how about THAT for close to a deadline :P

I am so annoyed that i cant remember my second main point... kinda proves what iw as saying before. Anyway, next post, sun? mon?, i will be posting pictures of my travels and events in Koriyama... i am so sorry that i have forgotten to do this before, it never even occured to me for some reason.
Peace in.

Hello all

So work has started again and what do i find, to my surprise, when i go into work on the new week. My manager has been transfered because she cant handle the pressure of such a town as koriyama, which was a big shame for me because she was the first friend i had in koriyama...
She swapped with a manager who used to work at the school she is now managing. Aparently this new manager has been with geos for 3 years and is experienced. Meh i dont care really, i think the goals that geos ask for every month are way too much anyway, if she can get them then well done to her...

Apart from that been ok, got a package from my parents yesterday with some barbeque sauce in, amongst other things. So im happy for now :D. Oh and on the weekend i am going to a hot spring i hope...

Happy new Year!!

Hello all! Happy new Year!!

What did YOU do for the new year?? I want a post from everyone about their festive festival.

I went to a party and drank lots of beer and sake, then we went to a jazz bar and managed to pay about £7 for a beer... which we got annoyed at but only really realised until after everyone had left.

The evening kinda went down hill from there as we all split up and did our seperate things. I went to the shrine but forgot my camera! Doh! But i did have my phone so i managed to get some pictures, no matter how crappy they were. After that more booze was required and all was happy :D
