why is it that my most important posts seem to be made from internet cafes? 

right, well, firstly, long time no post.  my apologies. there are good reasons however.  mainly the fact that I have just moved house.  So, please dont send any mail to my old address in japan!

“moved?!?” I hear you say.  yes.  moved.  why, well, this is something I wasn’t able to post about until about 2 months ago, and then I wasnt able to find the time.  My contract with AEON finished last saturday, by my choice, so if I wanted to stay in Japan, I had to find a new job.  I started searching about mid-Jan, and I was very blessed with being offered a wonderful position within 2 and a half weeks of job searching.  My new job will be a private Junior High School English Communication teacher.   What that means – regular hours (830 to 430), better pay (just), longer vacations (12 weeks!  did you read that…  12 WEEKS!), and moving house.

So, after I got the job offer I started to go house hunting.  I decided to live at the same station as the school (just ask my mother.  i have trouble getting out of bed), which is approx 1 hour and 20 minutes away from where I was.  So the distance made some difficulties.  But, my first trip to a real estate agent, and I found a great place (thanks Century 21!), and 2 weeks after that I signed to contract, to move in a week and a half later, which puts us up to last sunday. 

So, as you can kinda see, things have been hectic.  Ive had a few other adventures in between, and Im really looking forward to my new life (on vacation for a week now), which i will post about later.  But for now, Im going to go back home, because someone is snoring here in the internet cafe, and I just cant stand that! grrrr
