... around and speaking to different groups and she feels like this experience really verified that she wants to pursue motivational speaking. I have spent more time with Lindsay throughout the trip but found out that one of the reasons th Lindsay is such a good dancer is that she danced for three years in high school and went to LA several times to train with professional dancers. Upon high school graduation ...

... the hotel we had booked in Tokyo, Disneyland was a 45 minute train ride, which had between 4 and 6 changes of train, depending on which route you chose to take. So the 45 minutes would easily blow out to over an hour by the time you finished running between train platforms in the Tokyo peak hour crush. The reason the Yokohama trip is so quick is that the first journey to Tokyo station is via ...

... try and get well and most importantly, go empty my sick and ailing bladder. I will leave it up to Michael or future me to finish this entry and tell you about the great time we had with our two hour english class, complete with a felt story, puppets, games and songs.

Love you, family. -Chris

... We found the Hachiko dog statue outside the station which is a big meeting point in Shibuya. The dog is there as legend states it used to wait for it's owner outside the station all day every day and even carried on doing so when his owner died. So that's why the statue is there. We followed the little streets around and had a look in some of the crazy shops before going back to the station to catch the train to Central Station so we could walk and see the Imperial Palace. We ...

... to be named, yes; you guessed it right, No. 3, No. 4... The programme of the ceremony, which was handed out to me on arrival, told a different story. It featured a bar graph representing the number of pupils over the thirty years of our primary school. It started off at somewhere around 500 pupils in 1977. Then the number peaked to 800 in 1980. From then the number steadily declined. In 2007 the number stood at ...

... Anyways I'll try and post pics here. Moving on to work. After having a moan at my old AAM I have been transferred closer to home. I have 7 schools now, 2 of which are in walking distance, 1 is 15 mins, 1 30mins and the other 2 are 50. I go to them once a week max. I'm enjoying my job more now as my new AAM gives me more freedom to run my schools and organise and carry out training etc. So, things on that front are ...

... past! It was like a Mexican Wave of bows, and I was a bit embarrassed as it`s not the kind of thing that happens in Superdrug back home, but it was appreciated and I left with a smile on my face. Back at the hotel, I watched a Japanese gameshow where the aim appeared to be to guess the weight of various obese cats! They were absolute mammoths, and from what I could make out guesses ranged from 15kg to 23kg which simply cannot be right. Either way, it was more entertaining ...

... same gravel paths 1000 years before me. Lunch was sushi and tempura which was awesome but very people liked it. Today was not as striking as yesterday, not because the places weren't neat but they just had a different feel. I liked the shrines and temples of yesterday, today was more of the Empirical buildings which didn't connect with me as much. We did get to go to a really neat market in Kyoto - we all had green tea soft serve - it was awesome. I realized the value of ...

... ones, the language barrier, and when we left a tip last night they virtually threw it back at us, I presume it`s not the culture to leave tips!!! We stummbled accross an american/japanese diner called Jonathans. This place has become legendary, we`ve bin in there the last two mornings at 7.30, to be greated by the waitress dancing and running around full of energy, where as we struggle to muster enough energy up for a couple of words!! This place is seriously kewl tho, an all ...
