Konbonwa!! May I write this blog on you with reading pleasure! To the brain will come with happiness from reading! Yes, I am aware that Julie asked me to write an entry about turning thirty, and I intend to. In fact, I have already started. Despite this auspicious beginning, however, my work has been interrupted by a trip to Japan to visit Julie herself. In fact (a different fact), I am typing this from her computer in Arao, Kyushu, Japan.
We have had a busy schedule so far, not to mention jeto lago, and I don't have much time to write. We are leaving early tomorrow morning for the "traveling" part of the trip, to Osaka, Nara, Kyoto, and Tokyo. I will offer more thoughts when I return to the good old USA, where the jeans don't fit and we don't even know it. And we don't seem to care. At least our unenergetic English makes dreary sense. Now, If I have to eat one more package of Hello Kitty cracker-cookies...I'm sticking to my ol' standbys, favorites like Watering Kissmints and Pocky Men's Chocolate. I prefer to munch on my Crunky Chocolate Walking Bar (Apple flavor) and then freshen up with Xylitol gum (sugarless and "extremely competent for healthy teeth". They also make the ever-popular Colorful-Ru Mint Assort Gum.) Ok, time to go pack before I get inexplicably tired at another inexplicable hour...

I tell of my day-to-day experiences in a funky Japanese town from my American viewpoint. This blog could also be called 'Bizarro World', 'Notes From Kyushu, a Smaller Island', or 'Teaching English in Japan: Smash Your Ego in 10 Easy Lessons."
