dude I'm going to Japan

so this is it, I can not believe that tonight is my last night home for a year!!!

Saturday I board a plane bound for Tokyo Japan, and from there another plane to Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture Japan!!
What will I be doing in Toyama? well for those of you who haven't heard I will be working with the JET programme (Japanese Exchange and Teaching) I will be an Assitant Language Teacher (ALT) and working in a public Japanese high school. I will be teaching classes to 15, 16, and 17 year olds. And of course living in a shoe box apt. in Toyama.

So this is where I will be posting the latest and greatest: pictures, fun tales, embarrassing moments, the good, the bad, and the ugly... hopefully mostly the good. Pictures included.

I really am excited, I think that this will be the best experience and will be fun.. gulp I hope.

I will try to update often, well at least once a week. Let me know what you want to hear about.


Here are my addresses in Japan, you can get to my school or my apt.

thats all for now folks, I'll let you know whats what when I actually know more!

until next time



** just a note.... I never spell anything right anyway, and this is my blog... so you can tell me about my typos but I'm not fixing them.... (so there mom)
