What am I doing up so late? I need to write in this more often, I just can't seem to muster the energy. Having too much fun I guess :) |

I almost forgot! Yesterday I went to have coffee with a co-worker from Miyoshi High school. She is a fellow part time English teacher but she's Japanese. Anway, she brought her 5 year old daughter with her who amazed and astounded me the entire time with her huge English vocabulary and incredibly accurate English pronunciation.
We didn't even prompt her. In the begining she was a little shy, but then she would ask questions in English as if it was no big deal. For 3 hours straight she never uttered one word in Japanese and she was talking to herself and us the entire time. I was beginning to wonder if she even spoke Japanese. Her English conversational skills far surpass any of the high schoolers I teach and they are pretty good. Her English is very polite too.
Looks like I might be hanging out with them once a week (for a small fee) in the future so she can get more practice speaking. She seems to like me pretty well, so I think it will be a good experience. |

Woohoo! I got my new fabric and lining silk to make another Kimono. I'm hoping to have it finished by mid Ocotber for the town Matsuri (festival). We shall see.
Feeling kinda weird today. Woke up with a sore throat but it feels better now. It may be a reaction to all the brush burning that goes on this time of year. Whenever people weed their gardens, they burn the weeds after and it seems to blow right into my house. Gross.
I've been meeting people like crazy these past few days. I finally met some Hiroshima-ken people (only took me a year :P). I also met a retired man who teaches Japanese to foreigners out of the kindness of his heart. I started my first lesson yesterday and it lasted almost two hours. I had a great time and it's far closer than the alternative was shaping up to be. A shout out to melf42 who also was having a Japanese lesson in the same room. Nice to meet you! Come play with us anytime :)
Tomorrw is my first day back at Miyoshi High school since summer break. It will be nice to see everyone again. |

Hello All!
I've never been too consistent in any journal I've kept and online ones seem to be no exception. Oh well, better once in a great while then not at all.
At any rate, just wanted to let those who are interested know that I finally got around to updating my web page today. I still have yet to take some photos of projects I've been working on including a kimono I made, but that will have to wait for another day. Hopefully it will only be a couple of weeks. There's new garden pics up under the "house and garden" page and a bunch of stuff under "new photos". Enjoy :)

Got my first ever skiing lesson last weekend!
I was a little terrified, but it turned out ok. I think I might even be getting the hang of it, although I definitely have sore legs and arms as a result.
Next Sunday I`m going again and this time I`m going on a mini ski lift and try actually going down a real hill :) Yay me! |

Long time no write, eh?
Well, It`s decided to finally snow here and it`s EVERYWHERE! I keep trying to dig the car out and the next day it`s buried again. I`m running out of room to put the snow that I`ve shoveled. I`m building a nice labrynthine structure to get to the house and car though. Wish my camera was working (among other things) but oh well. Perhaps I`ll capture it next year. At any rate, trust me, it very cool and unlike anything I`ve experienced.
I spend a great deal of time watching it from the safety of my hot carpet in the living room. It really is astonishing that a country that deals with so much cold and snow still has yet to figure out the value of insulating ones` house. As a result we burn through a lot of kerosene for our heaters. Money well spent in my opinion. |
