So, the rumor mill may be flying, perhaps accurately. I thought we should tell people here.
Roy and I, after talking to our friends here (some of whom are from Portland) and our friends and family back home, and watching the economic situation, and using financial calculators and payment plans, and comparing our work environments and situations and general feelings of satisfaction, etc., etc., etc....
After giving it a lot of thought and research, we have decided to re-contract and work in Japan for another year after our current contract. That puts our estimated date of return at late July 2010. We've signed the paperwork and everything.
You know what that means?!
That means you have until July 2010 to visit Japan or meet us somewhere in SE Asia! Wooo! How exciting!
You know, barring American economic collapse and whatnot.
P.S. The photo is from Roy's birthday party in a fine pub called "Beer Hall" or rather 「ビアホール」. It is a small brewery, and they learned their technique in British Columbia, so the beer served is fine Pacific NW artisan style. It's Roy's small piece of heaven.
