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.
