Well, that took to long. The thing about Japan is that if you are sent something important you have to "honko" er stamp er sign for it, even when it would fit through the mailslot on your door. so anyway we have the internet now, finally. work has been going relatively well, an eikaiwa is basicly a chance for japanese people to interact with native english speakers, for kids its playtime in english and for adults it isn't to dissimilar. as for personal things, sarah and i are studying aikido again as well as kendo both twice and only on the weekends. main list of concerns now is how long we have been out of contact and the other was actually getting the internet, of course now that we have it (as of 11:15am on Friday the 8th of June) the next hurdle is the tendency for our browser to put us in the japanese language version of any site we try to get to, this one for instance. but we will persevevere par server and all that.
also last week we were in an earthquake, my first it was about a 3 or 4 and i thought it was kids playing in a classroom upstairs until it kept going, and i saw the looks on my adult students faces. a strange feeling, not scary, and it was over before i had time to really think much of it.
more soon, really this time. philip

Looks like my last comment worked! Who ray.
An idea for getting past japanese-language versions of websites: Find a US proxy server to use, and set it up in system prefs.
Oh, also, sorry I disappeared shortly after you IM'ed - I hadn't been feeling well all day, and went to the parents to get various medifications.
What are you eating these days? Are you cooking Japanese food?
