so i am sitting in the same international centre that i was in last year for a month... lots of things have been going on since i got here ... many things still to do back home... like put my phone on hold.... otherwise i am paying for nothing... haha

so ... my level of japanese is better than it was last year.. but i still have sooooo much to study... as soon as i get a card reader for my camera i will be posting some pictures online....

i have a cute little appartment not too far from school and i won the use of a bike for the year!!! yaaaay!!! so i have been riding everywhere.... and it saves me money going to the next train station.... it only takes about 15-20min to ride my bike versus spending ￥400 which is about $4 ... i dont pay much attention to the currency exchange....

i have mede some new friends from all over the world. France, Holland, Russia, Australia ... even one other canadian

i will be heading off soon to go with the RA (resident assistant) Yas-san to see if i can get a card for my cell phone and then people from home can call me because it is soooooo much cheaper..... ￥2000 in japan vs. $5 in canada for a much longer time period.....

so i am off .. i have to turn in this PC before i leave...

ciao for now!
