Schools out for summer

Near my school - 5 storeys

So, my first term as an ALT is over I've still popped into school to do some odd bits of work with the kids. They say when you love something you'd do it for free and that I am. I'll still go to school tomorrow at 9 am to do some stuff with the kids.

I have a lot of time to myself and I need to use it to work on a plan and things I'd like to achieve make short term goals to meet long term ones. I know I always said the goal is to be in Japan but now that has accomplished I NEED to work on the next step.

I've managed to get in some dancing been to Tokyo a couple of times and will possibly be getting in some club time Kizomba on Tuesday.(good news) It has been hot insects have been flying. I have received a bike which I have to pay for at the end of the month. The guy just said take the bike and pay when you have the money cool stuff. Working on a little Vblog venture so you can see what is going on so stay tuned for that. I think I'll try and link it all together and add Instagram as well. Triple threat son WHAT!!

little and often

BOB SAPP,I AM NOT

I'll say Thank God it's Friday not because I hate work because the opposite is true and more because I am tired. I've greeted more people than the pope walked like an hour each day as my commute and climbed that hill that my school is on top off which will get me fit. Plan is to get the quiet cheap drink in with a few friends and just relax.I say the as it is going to be one lol. I'm looking forward to some Umeshu plum wine which I'll eventually learn to make.

Like it's Friday end of the working week and, I had a busy day, there were only 5 school periods in the day and I was  only meant to work 3 but I ended up doing all 5. So extra work but this is more of me putting my hand up saying I'm free let me take part in these lessons.


I think I'll benefit from writing little and often as everyday there is something to say. I wish I could have videoed my introduction lesson because I think its cool. I confronted  the Bob Sapp comparatives I knew I would definitely receive head on by pulling out a Bob Sapp flashcard to introduce the concept of name.. A few kids try call me Bob Sapp but since I brought it up first it is more like a laugh together than at me and they can't take credit aye.

SO I attend a Japanese class once a week on Thursday and it's in a community centre so I showed a few members the basics of Salsa and a bit of Kizomba on the Thursday , I mean being a teacher helps now as showing and demonstrating becomes part of your life which is always fun so I look forward to working on that part of my life (the dancing)here. Also I received a generous amount of rice from one of the teachers who happens to come from an area where rice is in abundance and this came about from me complaining that the price of rice is too damn high. I think i have enough to last me the year and It was necessary as times are hard, month in lieu pa and all that means pay  arrives end of May now considering I moved here end of March and I travelled 6000 miles and rent a modern apartment it is a hard life. Top it off I met somebody else who has invited me to a vibrant international church in the closest big city Mito so everything is falling into place. Earthquake count for me now is 3 now so I'm getting used to it.

PEACE

にせんじゅいちねんです - It's 2011

Every blog I write begins with me apologising about the time gap between the previous blog, but not this one. I'm through apologising you know what I'm like already

I don't know why I don't blog often as I do I like it, it is very therapeutic. I am a guy who makes a lot of noise but I don't say much I discuss facts but not feelings. so I should blog more often.It just occured to me that maybe I am scared of what I may bring forth in this cyber substitute for a psychiatrists chair.I may one day publicise this blog and my weaknesses may be unconvered. What if I become a superhero as planned then my enemies would have a vast array of psychological ammunition to terrorise me with.This is serious business.

Anyway since my last post, I have been to Japan again I went from the mid-end of Novemebr for Kouyou season and had a good good good time. The only problem is I don't think I've returned properly. Oh yeah I got on the flight home ,Oh i remember that, but I feel as if there is a part of me chilling by the river in Kyoto speaking some really good bad japanese with the locals.Honestly though most days I feel like Im in a dream living outside of my body except for when I'm with my Mrs and family and some friends. Maybe these are the sign of a man missing something.

I'm sure when i go to Dominica I will cheer right up. Yeah DOMINICA

MAN UP!! :(

SOmething new KIZOMBA- aye i feel that dance, I had my first lesson in London taught by a Brazilian who fell in love with the African dance when she moved to Portugal (so sweet). It is such a nice dance, especially because the music is quite good. If you don't know about Kizomba check it out. I am an official Afro Latino dancer and I aim to up my Kizomba game over the next few months.

anyway don't put off tomorrow what you can do today-so im booking two tickets to Japan as we speak one way ( I wish)

Let us see if he can blog next week aye! In fact I WILLLLLLL
