Sugoi ne!

Hello people, so yeah its been like well long since I last posted. Time flies when you are...working hard! hahahaha...every day seems pretty long and so much seems to happen all around me.

So many things have changed, people, my environment, my friends lives...its kinda alot for me to take in. So many choices ahead, so much passion is going to be needed...I am ready for the challenge though.

I did something the other day that I have never done before, I prayed to uncle and to grandma for strength...I have never been a very spiritual guy at all cept for my family and friends, I always pray for them and their happiness and well being. But for me...I never ask for much but I needed strength the other day...I think they answered my need...Thank you both...

I guess after being here in Japan for a very short time I came up with three goals. What are these three goals and have I achieved them I hear you say!!??

The first goal well...things change I guess, that goal passed me by...my second is about to be achieved I think...and the third...hahaha...hss not been achieved due to my laziness...Jikan tatsu no ga hai yayi desu nai! Ah...so much for goals!

Back to reality...well spring is very much here, the Cherry blossoms have come and gone, so beautiful...one of my students described it like love, it blooms so beautifully but passes so quickly. Another described it as being linked to the age of the samurai...

I went to see the Cherry blossoms in two places, one was Shonan Tower (dont ask!) which was an interesting mix...beautiful cherry blossoms next to this dirty ugly tower which had been COMPLETELY grafittied by lovers. The next place was Odawara castle...built by the Samurais apparently, very beautiful and romantic at night.

Truly amazing stuff...I guess you dont really appreciate something until its gone...
