Emma's B-day, First Days Off!

Well last night was our final day of OJT... We finished out training! I think it went well... I've got a handle on the structure of the lessons we teach, so now it's all about making sure to figure out new ways to keep it fresh...

We went out for a beer after our final training last night with our Trainer, Tim. He's from Canada (Yes, he likes Rush... Yes, that was the first question I asked him when I found out he was from Canada... Yes, everyone who isn't Canadian or me greatly dislikes Rush) and unfortunately is leaving in couple weeks. He and his wife are going back to Canada for a bit, and then he is going to the UK to go back to school... Emma and I were disappointed because he's a really cool guy... He likes Rush, likes to drink, and says the F-word a lot... What's not to like?


It's Emma's birthday today... I made her breakfast (Eggs, toast, and some semi-bacon-y efficient Japanese ham), and tonight we're going out for sushi... We also got a video rental membership today and we rented a couple movies...

We also tried to get a cell phone today in Akashi.... an hour long process that resulted with us cell phone-less at the end of it.... We're going to hopefully get one tomorrow in Himeji (where we've been training) because they have a couple English speaking workers at the cell phone store there...

Anyhoo... We are enjoying our time so far, we start work on Saturday for reals-ees...
