Happy Anniversary to me!

it's official, i've been in japan one year today! i can't believe how quickly the time has gone by! i always thought that today'd be the day that i'd be coming home, but as it goes i'll be here for another 4 months...bit more to see n do. it's been an interesting year, lots has happened, and it's not always been easy, but i'm still here, and enjoying it, don't regret for a moment coming out here.
still, good to know that i'll be back soon, older and maybe even a little bit wiser

i know most English pubs are zoos...


but this is taking things a bit far! Posted by Picasa


one by one, the animals are leaving the ark...last night we said goodbye to Steve Urwin (far right), otherwise known as Mitch, or Devil Spawn, or Manko Rash (please don't ask) depending on your mood that day. The youngest of the bunch, and by far and away the craziest. Complete looney. This place just won't be the same without him; we'll all be able to sleep safe in our beds!
Dumbo too, aka Alex, or Devil Woman (there seems to be a theme here...) is deserting us, heading for the even bigger zoo that is Tokyo! Matt and Tim (not pictured, didn't wanna do that to you so early on a morning) have also left the building. They're picking us off one by one...wonder who's next...is there anybody out there??
