For those of you that noticed after commenting on my coming "Melbourne winter" I said "although", now to say why. Well, basically I'm not enjoying school at all, so am going to put it off for a year or maybe even longer, meanwhile my Uncle who likes in Osaka, Japan has offered for me to live with him and earn some money over there. So now I'm 85% sure I'll be flying off to the Land of the Rising Sun in about a month or so.

Cool! You'll be only about a 6 hour flight north of me after I move back to Thailand in July! In Asia, that's practically around the corner!

Tokyo is noisy, crowded, expensive, bewildering...

And amazingly interesting and full of cute guys...

And the myth about Japanese appendages being shorter than "average" has never really been proved or disproved, so you could undertake a scientific study and let us know.

*Giggles...*

Hey, peeps, what IS average, anyhow?

I've heard that Asian people are meant to average 5" and Africans to average 7", If I have it confirmed I'll let y'all know though Smile

I wouldn't kill for the chance to go there, but I'd go pretty far that's for sure! Smile

The language's amazingly cool too, do try to learn it. Also, they have really HOT gay dating computer games over there too hehee! Japan's such a crazy country.

I'm sure you'll kick yourself forever if you don't seize this chance. Go, darn it, go! Smile

It sounds like a wonderful opportunity. Japan should be very interesting. Education is important, but there's nothing wrong with putting off school for a while. Besides, sometimes an informal education can be just as enlightening as a formal one.

Think good thoughts,
