Kitagawa village
I've been working out among the rice paddies of rural Japan on the JET Program as a 'CIR' My home for almost 2 years now has been a small hamlet in eastern Shikoku called Kitagawa village .
Foreign population: 1
Currently...
With only a matter of weeks left at my current job, I'm getting ready for my next big trip - a cycle tour across Japan, top to bottom. The plan is to set off in August from the northern tip of Japan and just keep on pedaling south.

All polar bears are left-handed
Six reasons to start a weblog:All polar bears are left-handed.
A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out.
A cockroach will live nine days without it's head, before it starves to death.
Elephants are the only animals that can't jump.
The Earth is slightly egg-shaped.
A pig's orgasm lasts for 30 minutes!!!
There is only so much of this kind of stuff that anyone one person should know. I do like my job (no, really!), but it does occasionally leave me with an unhealthy amount of free time (though admittedly I've been quite busy lately). Some people might study for a masters degree, work on a charity for underprivileged children or set up a water-tight investment portfolio. All I have to show for it is a stiff neck, an encyclopaedic knowledge of useless information, a fine set of glow-in-the-dark Dracula fangs (Halloween party I organised for the kids), and a brooding resentment that I wasn't born a pig.
Starting a blog won't exactly get me a Nobel Prize, but at least it should keep me productive. Hope you enjoy...
