Rainy Season
When it rains here, it pours. Luckily, there`s been some sunny days within the last couple of weeks. Rainy season here ends around early July, so then it`ll be time for fun in the sun. Ise-shima has been one of my favorite places in Japan so far. I went there with my family, and I also took George there. While I was there, I accumilated tons of brochures and pamphlets and stuff. There is about 5 or 6 nice looking beaches in the area, and I have been waiting a long long time to hit those up. Just gotta wait for this rain to clear up!
In between classes, I`ve been spending some of my time doing a little job hunting in the area. You know, testing the waters. I applied for a management trainee position for an intl. bank in Tokyo. To get accepted would be a dream, but it seems like the competition will be fierce. They only accept about 6 ppl into the program each year. Gotta brush up on my keigo.
Other than that... it`s been all about watching World Cup games and drinking beer. America suffered a major beat down from the Chezch Republic, and they have to play Italy tomorrow. Things don`t look good. Japan lost to Australia, and they still got Croatia and Brazil...meaning they`re fucked. Sweden tied Trinadad and Tobago... which could be trouble cause they got Paraguay and England to worry about now. Oh well, Sweden plays Paraguay tonight, and I`ll be watching that one with some swingin Swedes!
