A nice big good update

It's been a while :)

Reason being I have been VERY busy.

Many things have happened :)

For example...








仕事があるよ!
Or if you can't read Japanese...
I got a job!
That's right, I am now a programmer for the company Saora Inc. I program in mostly Java, javascript, html, xml, SQL, etc... soon I'll be doing some C and C++ too though. It's way down in Yokohama, In 青葉区, or Aoba-ku, or Blue Leaves Ward, at 市ヶ尾駅, or Ichigao Station. So, for the first week that I was there... it was a 3 hour, yes, 3 HOUR trip there and back in the morning and night from Chiba. Therefore...



I moved too :)

I now live in a world famous spot, 六本木, or Roppongi. It is very cityish here. Downtown Tokyo, very busy. Rent works out to about 460 dollars a month, with everything included (cept food of course). However, this is a ゲストハウス, or Guest House. Meaning there are about 10 people living in the area of a small one or 2 person appartment! hehe. I have my own room, but it's VERY small.
Doesn't really matter... because I'm not in here that often. It still takes an hour or so to get to and from work. And I spend most of the night out and about with friends and such.
All the people in this house speak only Japanese. hehe, but thats ok, since my Japanese is getting much better now :)

I wonder how everyone's lives on the other side of the world are going...

Oh, and by the way, if this jobs stays... which it looks like it will, I can get a Working Visa in a couple months, which means I am staying in Japan for at least several years. So people will have to come and visit :)

pffft... sounds like you're the one making the big bucks Mr... I expect to see you coming to visit US sometime (Besides... we outnumber you...) :P Congrats btw, I'm really happy for you, now that've you've finally gotten into some computer work after all the Van frustration. Myself, I landed a job in Halifax for the summer. Another gov. job which means I'll actually make money this summer, which is exciting ^_^ Maybe even enough to last me through most of the next school year... Anyway, have fun and post more pics :}
