Dick Brewer

Yep... I saw a t-shirt here that said Dick Brewer. I thought about buying it but then I think I might save my money for something even more classic. I took a picture though and will be uploading it when I figure that out.
I have also been taking of hillarious Engrish on menus. Example: Big ball of chicken meat served with one egg yolk.
So... It's been a while since I last posted. I am sorry for my negligence. I have been kept on my toes with work lately. I barely have time to do anything sadly. I only had one day off of work this week and it definitely shows. One of my students told me I looked terrible today and had too many zits on my face. Thanks for the honesty? Sorry I'm so homely? I had to go in for follow up training for kids lessons yesterday. It was very useful so I'm not too chapped about having to go in on my day off and it meant I got to see everyone from training which was nice. After follow up training we went to a pub and watched some of the World Cup! Go Portugal. One of the teachers at my school asked me how Canada's soccer team was and I told her we call it Hockey and its played on ice there.
I've been trying to watch a lot of the World Cup which is great and meeting a lot of people... locals and foreigners. Suprisingly enough I am using a lot of Japanese with my new local friends and I am being shown around my new city. My one new friend, Takumi, taught me how to say 'thank you' in Samurai Japanese so we try to get me to use that in daily situations. Example: buying a coffee at Family Mart 'katajikenai' not 'arigato'. The look on their faces is great!
The new teacher has arrived who is replacing the other teacher. He's really nice so far and is from good ol London town. We've decided from now on we're only teaching British English.
My time is up here though... and I left my blog notebook at school today. Otherwise I would be writing a much better blog! I promise to be back soon to give a more detailed entry!
P.S. @DarkEnergy Happy (Belated) Father's Day... a card will be in the mail sometime this year.
