... as you do on a bike, and I ended up turning left about 3 blocks too early. The up side of this has been that my conversations revolving around directions have improved immensley.

2. My use of tense in Japanese is atrocious. I found this out when my scary policeman host-father told me - your tenses are atrocious. Embarrassing, yes. But, patient man that he is, he corrects me ...

... s horrible. Think Maccona, Nescafe, Arriva. That's what I'm dealing with here people. Even coffee houses serve up the same filter-brewed mess. Nightmare on Cafe Street. You can ride the most efficient public transport system, buy the world's most advanced technology, **** in a loo that sings to you, but not buy a good cup of coffee. Anyway, never again.

After breakfast, I did a bit of shopping, had a wander ...

... I gave up & had my lunch by a fountain back in front of the Noh theatre.

Whilst eating and resting my very, very weary legs, I consolled myself with the good pictures of the castle I took from the pedestrian overpass. I've seen several castles now in Japan, so I doubt that this one would have been any different had I bothered to get closer.

Dinner last night was Kakiten soba - which is fried oysters on ...

Hellow, It has been a while since my last update. Mum and dad came to visit so we had fun travelling her,e there and everywhere! I also had an amazing company holiday to Kyoto and got to stay in a nice ryokan and watch apprentice geisha- 'maikos' sing and dance. My lovely mum stayed for a whole month and cleaned my apartment and cooked me yummy meals while I was at school. But now they're gone and I'm.....all by myself ...

... t have a good grasp of language yet, and their attention span is literally 10 seconds, I repeat myself so many times. The day is so crazy, we have 'toilet time' every 20 minutes, and it takes the kids 10 minutes to line up, so much of the day is taken getting children ready, and toiletting. But I finally feel like a teacher, having a classroom full of super-genki kids ...

The cherry blossom season arrives again and with it all those telltale signs. Parks littered with blue tarps. Trash and recycling bins overflowing. Food and drink stalls appearing overnight. Weather forecasts monitored like a hot stock on the Nikkei. Drunk salarymen passed out after marathon hanami sessions. New employees pulling all-nighters to reserve and guard the best spot for their company's party the next day. Cellphone cameras clicking away - oh wait, that ...

... there seemed to be fewer English speakers there, probably since there are few international tourists, especially outside of Tokyo.

When me and Dan walked into the store the 2 ladies working there went into rapid action. They yelled out the commands to each other as both ran ...
