Matt’s Travel Blog

Taught my first week of class`s. The kids are predictably cute and funny and cute and shy. The lessons are fun and everyone i work with is nice.

I also busted out the driving in Japan this week. Which was awesome.. drove almost all the way to Tokyo (about 80km of 100km) and back. The lanes are confusing but everyone in Japan drives like a scared old lady so I dominate the road with my whiteness.. they just look at me out the window slightly shocked. I`ve also had a good time with a new friend from England because when he drives he just screams and curses English style out the window at everyone…. its funny.

Now its the weekend.. and i hope i dont end up sitting at home on my ass.. people here are nice , but they dont really call you to hang out.. which is gay. Im not much for groupies and clicks.. I think maybe they are just private people, which is fine, but come on mates.. you arent alive to live in a shell.

N E ways.. this weekend ill try to take some pics and then upload them. But i promise nothing, i dont exactly live at the imperial palace.

Saionara.

I arrieved alive.

The lay over in Los Angeles was brutal. Singapore airlines was good but i got screwed out of my airmiles. THAT SUCKS!

Got here, then took the bus from Tokyo to Kanuma.. the bus ride rocked all night time city scenerie with happy music telling me where i was going.

Got here and went straight to the bar for some dudes birthday. Got drunk and sang kareeoke… went out on the town. Then slept for two days. Ive been shopping for stuff for my apartment.. thats about it.

Will post pics when i go somewhere.. theres not much to take pictures of here.

This is the most confusing place ever.

In LA airport waiting for flight to Tokyo.

America is still fat.

.. because we make adds like this and them put them on every bus stop in a city of millions.

I took this pic from a website of a friend of a friend but ive seen the adds around Toronto, and was thinking i should get a pic of it.
Its amazing. Its glorious. Its George Bush looking impish cause he can’t read so good.

Oh, and i leave for Japan in 32 hrs or so.

Leaving in 6 days for Japan , should be sweet. Can’t wait to have my own apartment again. That will be awesome.

I will come to Toronto to hang out once i find a place to stay.

Crashing at other peoples places is starting to suck so much i can’t stand it, i almost dont want to go back to Toronto at all.

Also with the recent news with almost exploding planes, looks like my airport adventrue will indeed be an adventure. What else do i have to take off other than my shoes now?

We’ll see what happens, either way im leaving the country… sigh of relief.
