I've been back in country for a month, as of a few hours ago. It's been great, being back in Japan, and I doubt that is going to be changing. Work continues to be better than I could have hoped, and I have to say that I am enjoying the vast majority of the classes I teach. Sometimes, work feels a little rushed (can anyone say 8 class Saturdays?), but much better than many jobs I've worked. Hell, compared to the lunch rush in any kitchen, Saturday is a cake walk.
Heading to Beppu, next weekend. Looking forward to seeing some old friends, and getting out of the local area, for a few days. Will post, after, when I have compiled more pictures, and have more to tell.
