Okeydoke, I don`t think I told you guys already, but I was told not to goto Shikoku`s Ehime prefecture this week due to the fact they found someone already down there for the job. So instead, once I finished my stint in Tochigi last week I`ve been travelling to Ibaraki prefecture each day to teach in an Elementary school. Its a bit of a trek, 1.5 hours both ways, but thats ok, sleeping on the train is fun sometimes and the school is nice. This is near the place where my family stayed when I was a baby, near Tsukuba.

Next week they are shipping me off to Shiga prefecture, next to Kyoto, and my hotel looks really nice as its right next to the largest lake in Japan. very cool. I`ll be there for a week teaching in a Junior high. I just hope my new laptop arrives in time for me to use it there... doubt it though. But that should be ok seeing as I`ll have lots of things to take photos of considering I`m near Kyoto again.

I have this Mario mystery cube thing that makes the sound of a mario coin then you punch it, the kids love it in lessons, when they answer a question I ask of them, I bash them over the head with it. I got it from a UFO machine (skill tester / claw machine). And my Hello Kitty watch always gets a laugh.

If anyone's interested in the photos I don't post here, and are just a journal of my stay in Japan you can view them on my personal website at [link] .
