I'm finally in Japan. Yay! Tokyo is fly. It's like New York City except I can't read the neon billboards and watermelons cost $35. There are 1000 future English teachers here, 99% of whom are huge Animae/Dungeons and Dragons/Magic the Gathering nerds. Of course, that's great for me, because I've been meaning to level up my Elder Druid for quite some time now.
What I know as of now about my coming year is that I will be working at a high school in the city of Kanazawa, population 500,000, which is small for Japanese cities, in the Ishikawa-ken prefecture. I'll be living alone in walking distance to my school. I am an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT), so I'll be teach-teaching with a Japanese speaker, A.K.A. I won't be completely useless.
Upon my arival on Wednesday, I will be participating in the Japanes gift-giving tradition in called O-miyage where you give a gift when you meet someone, and they give you a gift back of equal or greater value. I have devised a plot to give gifts to as many people as possible, they give me better gifts. Pyramid scheme anyone?
Finally, you should download Skype so we can talk for free online.
