Nothing special...
So.....ask the students what they're doing this weekend ('cause somehow, that's when I seem to be in the best mood--playing with the student's minds and making fun of the non-American accents of the other teachers--and they'll say, "nothing special". That's so they don't have to elaborate, of course. If they're not doing anything, then, they don't have to tell the teacher about it and they may not say something wrong. Sheez... Hey, did you know that we don't pronounce our "t's", by the way? Our Aussie (pronounced "Auzzie", by the way) roommate informed me of this one day. He said that they don't pronounce their "r's". The name "Peter" is a perfect example. Heehee....."turtle"..... "matter" :)
The point of this posting, by the way is to update y'all on our current life. We moved into our new place April 1. It's a 2DKL, and we live in L. Of course, we didn't find this out until we were getting our internet hooked up. It's in a sort of odd place for a living room, to me, considering it's the first bedroom on your right, but hey--Japan is strange. We'll post pictures, soon.
At work, we're settling into the routine. We've both been trained to teach kids--something we'll both have to do soon. I will start going on Saturdays to a kids school in a place called Kitamachi. I wasn't able to google it on a map, but I got a map from work. I actually have to take three trains, then either a bus or walk less than a mile to the school! It's going to be quite a adventure.
We've been going to Costco from time to time, so we're stocking up on food to cook for the week. I make tortillas every week (sometimes twice a week) since the bread is pretty expensive and way too thick--they're like one inch in thickness. You can get your groceries delivered for 500 yen to your apartment, so it's really convenient.
We've gone to a couple restraunts which I'll try to show pictures on the photo blog later. The food is very strange--everything has mayonaise in it! My students laugh at me when I describe some of our foods. It's really funny.
Anyhow, I'll try to write soon again.....it's taken me a couple tries to get this blog out as we have many episodes of 24, Rome, and Sex and the City to watch.
