Ladies and gentlemen, it is exactly six years since I moved to Kyushu... Considering the average amount of time for someone in my position to live and work in Japan is two years, I think this is cause for celebration. My friends and I are considering erecting a statue in my honor in front of the local train station. Our other idea is to name a pub in town after me. Considering how much money I've contributed to the local economy through the drinking of beer and consuming of bar food, I think this would be an apt tribute. Other ideas, of course, will be accepted and duly considered.
So here's to me and another year in Japan! :cheers:
Congrats! :cheers: :drunken:
That's a long time! So are you there indefinitely?
I dunno Amanda... I don't have much reason to go back to the states at this point. I'll probably be in Japan, but I don't know if I'll be here in this town forever. It depends on if they eventually wise up and offer more money ;)
lol eimi... congrats! i wish my first foreign job would have worked out for me. snowdrifts and bregott for life haha. but thats okay. i get to see the world anyway.
Well, I ended up coming in third place in my towns 3-man team boat races (paddle, not sail), so who knows... If this teaching gig doesn't work out, maybe I'll take to the sea myself... XD
