I flew from Heathrow yesterday to Japan. Long flight, but it could have been longer. After a 2 hour coach ride I found myself in Mito-shi, where I will staying for a few days to get some rest and start my training to be an ALT (a whole 4 days!! Like, wow, intense… (^_^) ). No net access though…

Currently severely “otsukaresama’d”, jetlagged and hungry. I’ve just found the nearest Family Mart (simply the best conbini, hands down! Don’t try and argue with me [search your feelings, you know it to be true {better than 7/11 anyhow}]) and grabbed a quick bento and some snacky bits. Instant ramen for breakfast because I know i’m not gonna be up for the free breakfast the hotel provides tomorrow morning.

So, there will be things to come. And because i’m actually out here now, I can write better posts, with more information and better (and original) pictures! Yay. I’m looking forward to it, dunno about you guys. Off to Furukawa (Osaki-shi) near Sendai on the 22nd, then work starts 1st Sep. Wish me luck!
