My apartment, and first day

  Ichikawa-Shi and Chiba, Tokyo, Japan

Well, I promised pictures of my apartment, and now I deliver - check out this entry's photo gallery.

Today I finally worked out where I live!
Yes, as you can see if you look at that picture, the city I live in has a City Insect... Anyway, as I've written with that picture, I live very close to Tokyo Disney, I calculated on google earth that it's around 4km. The coordinates of my apartment are 35°40'10.58"N and 139°54'0.17"E for anyone who wishes to find it.

Anyway, I had my first day at work today, it went fine, I've already taught two half lessons, and tomorrow I will teach two whole lessons - not much preparation here! There was an Aussie at my training branch, she was from Tasmania. The guy I was training with knew some japanese as well, so he was able to order us some lunch/dinner from a restaurant, so I had some sort of pork noodle soup stuff - it was very good! So I have training for another two days, then start work at my regular branch on Friday.

My work schedule is:
Sunday 1000-1720
Monday 1140-1920
Tuesday ----
Wednesday ----
Thursday 1605-2010
Friday 1700-2100
Saturday 1320-2100

(i couldn't be arsed writing am and pm after everything, and some of those times made me think of second year math courses - ah PDEs, I yearn for you tragically)

Thanks for Chris and Dave for christening my blog properly - I truly feel accepted into the blogging community.
Mum I'll call you on Thursday when Ayla's home :) sorry I couldn't chat long today.
Kellie - don't worry about what Chris writes in the comments - it looks scary but it's pretty inane - where's Jessie when you need her?
