We had a great time w/Rob in Tokyo. Sandy & I arrived on Fri about 1500 & took the airport limo/bus to our hotel. We were pretty wiped out & not feeling very experimental w/food, so we ate at hotel – spending quite a lot on quiche. Next day we… Read more“Mom visits Japan and takes over the blog…”
Mt. Fuji
The week went by pretty quickly this week. It was a no lesson week for the kids lessons so it was pretty quiet. We all noticed the difference today around 4pm when the first group of kids came in and the lobby erupted. It was nice to have a little… Read more“Mt. Fuji”
This sign was the funniest part of my week….
Sorry for being a little late with this post. I have had a few things going on the past few nights which kept me from putting my attention to this. I wish I had some new news from work, but not much has really changed. I am still enjoying the… Read more“This sign was the funniest part of my week….”
Japanese camping adventures
This week at school was good enough again. Not much has really changed recently. We get a new head teacher this week. She came in on Saturday and we all met her. She seems nice, but she was very busy so I didn’t talk to her much. I will miss… Read more“Japanese camping adventures”
A week after paradise…
So this week went as expected. A real struggle. I caught myself daydreaming about where I want to go on my next trip while reading a story book to a class of 10 year olds. I finished the book and didn’t even realize it until I went to turn the last… Read more“A week after paradise…”

Malaysia kinda kicks ass so far.
So this is my first post from Malaysia. It will probably be my only one too, since I am only here until Saturday. I am currently sitting on the porch of the hostel I am staying at in Kuching as the rain is pouring down. This porch is a common… Read more“Malaysia kinda kicks ass so far.”
Lake Biwa BBQ …and stuff
This week was a good week at work. Nothing really out of the norm happened, but it was a good. The office has become a much happier, more relaxed place over the past few weeks. I think Elizabeth has helped with that. She is always smiling and joking and she… Read more“Lake Biwa BBQ …and stuff”
Blinged out temples and some bamboo too
Another normal week at work. Getting into the grind of my new responsibilities. I have had a lot of prospective student interviews and other counseling meetings. Still happy to be busy. I wish I had some more good stories about work but everything is kind of routine for me now…. Read more“Blinged out temples and some bamboo too”
