The Wonders of Japan...

Yup, currently today it`s approx 4.30pm 29th of Jun 2004 here at the land of the rising sun (Yup, Japan). (Of course technically, Japan is not the land of the rising son, which is Fiji, ealier buy 3 hours).

The reason this blog is getting any attention in the first place is that -
1. I`m sick, I have a fever and so no class! This effectively puts me with a lot of free time.
2. Gunbound server is down (freaking hell!!!), which of course has increased my idle time by a whooping 50%.
3. Too much filing on my 1/8 scale resin Ai model is gonna snuff me out, if I`m not careful! (they say it`s as bad as asbestos!).
4. I`m running out of pretzals..... damn....

OK, so intro settled, let me start with my blog.....

Before that happens of course, I`d like to give a background on my situation here in Japan. It was on the fateful 1st of April that I kinda decided to jumped over the other side of the fence to see whether the grass was greener. I decided to leave my job in Intel , and go off to venture to Japan to further my studies. And so far... I love Japan!... It`s great... I miss my family and friends a lot at home though... a lot....
Oh yeah... is the grass greener?... give me a few months to figure that out.. ;)

My life is a routine 9-4 japanese class, Mondays to Fridays. Which I really don`t mind, since I enjoy learning the Japanese language and the teachers are great! My classmates are pretty nice bunch as well. I`ll give some more details on that later....

My lab is great as well, got 2 B4 jap students that are really nice and fun to be with (Tanechan and Yoshida). They help me a lot! ^^ And the lab is great, it`s SO high tech. And they even gave me this nifty X22 (which exactly looks like my old X20 in Intel...SWEET!!!) to write this nifty blog, my research stuff and surf (and also sometimes to play gunbound... ;P)....

OK gotta blog off... time to get moving...
