i'm finally here in isahaya! the last few weeks have been quite the blur. rushing to houston, flying to tokyo, having non-stop speeches and workshops to attend from 9am to dusk for two days, and then opening a bank account, getting a cell phone, applying for a foreigner registration card, filling out forms, forms, forms, forms! (collapses)
however, the last couple of days i have finally had a chance to relax. last night was a electronic/house dance party, and the night before the employees of the board of education (boe) threw me and ben (the other new isahaya guy) a welcome party (called enkai). not bad! however, even the new guys had to pitch in to cover the cost of festivities - to the sound of 60 bucks! wow! however, it was good times! i was required to sing a song at karaoke (all in japanese) that i had never heard before simply because they found one titled "louisiana." :D
i'm taking my board around tonight. this place is perfect for longboarding.
i have found myself in a beautiful place. when i have a chance, i'll upload pictures. i live in a decently-sized little apartment right next to the train station and a river. there are hills and mountains all about! well, time to write some emails and crack into my men's fashion magazine. hurray summer edition "men's egg"!
