Wow, fantastic weather here this weekend. Me and fellow ALT Helen went to Fukuma beach to have fun, but since the wind was far too intolerable to be.... tolerated we packed up after a mere 10 minutes and started to head back, bitching and moaning about how nice it was...

Kumamoto: Kyushu’s Portland
So, I chilled out in Kumamoto over the four-day weekend, thus my late web appearance this week. Actually it was only a three day weekend, but in honor of this weekend's X-Men 2 release, I used my mutant powers of nenkyuu (paid leave) to make it a four-day weekend...
Take my advice or I’ll spank you without pants

Ninjas are sneaky at EVERYTHING!
So Fletcher's dad is in town this week which is fun because the guy is sweet and has integrated into our crew in no-time flat. Last night, me Fletch, Fletch's Dad, Rory, Ben and Mihoko all went to yakitori. Suffice it to say by the time we got out of there, we had all...
