Lately...

I have now booked my plane ticket home! My contract ends on July 24th, so on the 25th or 26th I'll be heading up to Tokyo with some friends to go to FujiRock, a big 3 day music festival in Niigata. After that, we'll climb Mt. Fuji, do some Tokyo sightseeing, and then I'll fly home on August 4th (and arrive on August 4th earlier than I left! It's like time travel without the trouble and expense of building a time-machine!).

Photos from the last few weeks: going to Angie's shogakkou sports day; helping Becky move to her new apartment; some photos from some of my schools (I've started bringing my camera with me regularly since I'm leaving soon); lunch in Kokura before watching Pirates of the Carribean.

At Junior High:
With my favourite chugakkou classes. They have always been very genki since their first year and now they are san-nensei! They're almost all grown up and off to highschool!
