The rest of my apartment...that's about it though :)

Yes, I am officially working and living in Japan. I am almost done with my first week working at my school and it has been a lot of hard work in planning lessons and teaching. Last week I also worked hard during training in creating and doing different lessons for different levels of students. I made a lot of friends along the way. I am now keeping in touch with the other English teachers that I met while training through the internet. My co-workers in Numazu are also incredibly kind and I have enjoyed spending time with them. So far they have taken me around the city and gone karaoke with me (bowling fell through sadly). I am probably going to go look around more this weekend on my own, and maybe catch a movie as well (Hana Yori Dango Finale...for those that are interested). I have been extremely busy with work and trying to keep tabs with everyone, so I hope that this blog will be helpful. Enjoy the pictures of my life in Japan so far :)
