Hello hello! First news, I will no longer be updating the Yamasa blog sub page. There is too many of those and the old ones are disappearing without notice. I wonder what I will do with this blog when I will leave in December 2007.
No pictures for this update. My camera batteries are death.

I had some nice karaoke picture from our Thursday party. Sang a lot of eighties songs, and 4 songs in a row of “Roxette”. Life is still much more exiting than back home from what I have heard, but the studies are taking again a lot of time.
My bicycle tire got punctured by a rock and blew off. The bike I got for free from the Sweden guys had the rear tire exploded! Very unlucky. Looks like I am walking for a while.
Got a new English student this week. I can clearly see my limits to teaching English as a non-native. Some words I am not sure about the correct pronunciation. The good news is that any time I can take and pass one of those English tests like TOEIC (is it correct?), because they are kind of too easy.
I can make enough money for 5 days worth of food now. Temperatures are still 25 during the day and around 15 during the night. Compared to Quebec with 10 during the day, I feel like it is still summer. Winter in Japan should be a big joke.
Preparing my Christmas packages already, they should be on their way by the end of the first week of November.
Now at lesson 39 of 50, of Mina no Nohongo 2. Can’t wait to see how hard “New approach” is… hahaha. So close to be declared intermediate level. Must be a joke.
This weekend I am going to Nagoya, to see if I can find cloths that I could fit in. Everything is too small for me most of the time. The only place that is ok, is the “Fiesta” shopping center in Gamagorie. (Probably I got the city name wrong again.) Except for the very strong fish smell, they have decent cloths. I also purchased my glasses there.
