Hello everyone, hows things going back in England?

Well I found out today that I have been in Japan now for 2 months and its all swell, so I thought I better get off my arse and keep in touch with you guys.

Firstly my University, or specifically the center for international students is run my a load of nobs, and secondly I get shit loads of homework all the time..its just like being back at Callington School again...and if anyone remembers that then they can probably imagine how I feel about it!

The Japanese classes are ok but we also have to take random classes that are about Japanese culture, and these are all conducted in English..I feel that they are a complete waste of time because they a distracting from the amount of time I can spend learning Japanese. Which is the reason why I came here in the first place! GGGRRR.

Although, I have made quite a few Japanese friends who can`t be arsed to speak English so thats good for me...go figure..English is there main subject yet they can`t be fucked to speak it. Plus, where I am in Osaka they have some mad fucking dialect that Tokyo people call dirty and anoying and I call fucking hard to understand. But I`m gradually picking it up now.

This weekend we dashed off to Kyoto for a bit of sightseeing..go figure..none of the Japanese people we went with had been to either of the sights we visited..kinda like back home where National GAY Trust houses aren`t at the top of the agenda..But still, they enjoyed themselves.

Posted a few pics so u can check em out!

Stu will be pleased to Know that all the Japanese in my soccer team think I look like Pavel Nedved..that joke wore thin after the 100th time...
Also, I`ve mainly been listening to the Stone Roses lately so when I went to Karaoke I was belting there songs out, fucking awesome fun. In Japan you get your own room with a group of friends instead of singing in front of loads of strangers in a pub..

If you guys have any questions please ask me and I can tell you want you wanna know..If I write everything down here the post will take me a day to write!

Hope everyone is well, miss you guys as well.

Take it easy!

Jason! I won`t be coming home at Xmas dude...its to far to sit on a plane for 12 hours just to come home for 2 weeks.

And Bill the shopping is fucking awesome mate..cheap clothes, cheap electronics etc..u get the idea. Bascically I`m spending money I ain`t got! Haven`t seen any dodgy anime yet..I leave that to the complete freaks at Kansai Gaidai (uni where I am studying). Let me give you an example..theres an American who dresses likes its cosplay every fucking day..Yep....I`ll try and get a photo of him, then u can all have a good giggle.
Haven`t done Kendo yet..haven`t got the time at the mow..which sucks.
I am using MSN, but the time difference is now 9 hours ahead of UK now u guys are on Winter time; or whatever its called.

Neo, if u want a wife just come to Japan and I can introduce u to women who love foreigners!! WINK WINK!
And I haven`t insulted anyone either!
What sort of toys/slash watches do you want??

Hey Neo, whats all this about you wanting a wife? I did offer and you turned me down, so you don't really want one!! I am upset now!!

Alright Al, glad to see you're getting on OK. That tea drinking looks rather civilised - is that a little biscuit in the red dish? You'll have to show us your Karaoke skills when you return too.
