The difficult life of an english teacher in Japan. Work, work, work all the time. Never any chance to unwind, explore, or actually have a little fun. Ok, well sometimes, I manage to escape the monotous doldrums of the day to day and, just for a moment, see what Japan is really like. You guessed it--chopsticks and alcohol. P.S.-- "I've gone."

Stick A Fork In Me...


Yes folks, that's right, I'm done. All the mischief and mayhem is slowly but surely coming to an end, and I will leave this land of chopsticks, alcohol and indiscretion (on various levels. Oh, those ellusive and yet invasive levels). Corporate, bureaucratic bullshit weighs far too heavily on the shoulders of a proud social humanitarian with a strong resprect for REAL education. Resignations have been submitted, and flight reservations have been made. I'm sad to leave the good friends I have made--experience shows that good but distant friends are hard to keep. I'm simultaneously elated to resume the good friendships I left almost 8 months ago. I will land in San Francisco on November 16th via Chicaco, as strange as that may seem. Thanks to Rick, Sonia's dad, I've been blessed with a free plane ticket. Gotta love those frequent flyer miles. [Thank you!]. Hope to see you Americans soon and get a chance to really catch up. And ranch. I really want some ranch dressing...and good beer...and social awareness and activism. I should stop, the list could go on and on. Peace out.

heh, know the feeling although we are both leaving for different reasons... I'd say sorry to see you go but I might be out the door first!!! Sorry you haven't had a better time here and enjoy the good ol' US of A.

Just caught up on the last couple of blogs, is it really time for you to go? You're going to miss it more than you could ever imagine. Nevertheless, I'm sure the experience has prepared you for what lies ahead even if you did meet some kooky characters (me inclusive)! Enjoy the rest of your time there and eat fresh fish like crazy cause there is nowhere else in the world with fresher fish! - wilda
