This Ex-Gaijin guy and I go way back so when he told me he wanted me to be his foreign correspondent in Japan I said, "Hells yeah! I'll do it."
So here's the deal. I'm leaving my half-ass job that I've been at while I finished up college and I'll be heading for this little city named Himeji in August. I'll be teaching English for a year and hopefully have some memorable experiences while I'm there (haha). Anything utterly ridiculous and/or amusing will find its way onto this blog as will any points of interest, if deemed worthy. But just so you know, it'll never come before the ridiculous.
I've been trying to prepare for my trip by playing Wii and my PSP. Other than that, I've got a rough idea on what to pack, how to steal a bike when I get there and I just finished a book written by a guy who spent a year teaching English in Japan. As far as I'm concerned, I'm freaking SET.
The main thing on my mind right now as I'm sitting here typing this is what I should do for my last day of work tomorrow... There's no one prank that really sticks out that I want to do so I'll just have to go with a mish-mash of smaller, hilarious antics.
That and I've been summoned for jury duty. Fuck.

Holy Christ, Himeji? Hope you like drinking yourself silly and staring vacantly at things, because you'll have plenty of time to do it.
Incidentally, when you're called for jury duty, rock back and forth in your seat the entire time and when they finally ask if anyone has anything to add, mention that you wouldn't mind coming to jury duty, you wouldn't mind jury duty, but your job lets you take breaks at frequent intervals, and you need those frequent intervals, yes you do. That's what I did. Not unsurprisingly, I was passed over.
Haha yeah, it is a more rural city... And from what I gather from both you and Ex-Gaijin is that there isn't much else to do besides drink yourself silly in Japan.. Can't wait!
You know, I'll have to try that next time I'm called...
