Welcome to the life of an ALT (assistant language teacher) in Nagasaki. I started this journal when I visited Japan in 2004 with JFMFTP, then continued it when I returned as a member of the JET Programme in 2006. Enjoy!
I just got some new fish for the summer season. At the summer festivals, children play a game called "kingyosukui" -they try to catch goldfish with a paper scoop! You don't have to work too hard to have fun with my fish, though - just move your cursor over top of their pond & click to drop them some little treats :)
Tracey----What a beautiful picture!! Certainly worthy of a magazine cover! I'm sure you are counting the days until you come back to the U.S. Enjoy these last few weeks in that excotic land. Maybe we'll see you in Dallas??
Love your blog and am keeping up on your plans, while your computer is not connected to the internet for emails. You do a beautiful job with the blog and it is expremely interesting. I'll take your word that the food tasted better than it looks. (-_-)
Yea! Hoorah for mobile uploads and camera phones :) The flowers were about $1, by the way - the yen sign didn't translate.
Cathy, I'm trying to swing a deal to stay more than a few minutes in Dallas on my return flight. I currently have a layover, but thanks to 'the way they do things here', I was required to pay ($2,500) for my ticket, (a week ago), and still have neither a copy of the ticket nor an itinerary. Hopefully I'll have everything (including a reimbursement!) next week so I can figure out a TX visit :)
