Long time no talk

Dear Family and Friends,

I hope the post finds everyone well. Sorry I haven't posted any pictures in a while. Life is good. Maybe some of you don't know, but I renewed with my company for another year, so I will be teaching here till November 2012. Summer is HOT. Like 90 with lots of humidity. In the last 2 months, I have taken a national Japanese test, which I think went well, been making new friends, and trying to find some summer time hobbies. There is an outdoor pool that opened near me, so I have been swimming outside recently , excited. That's about it. Good luck, have fun. Hope you enjoy the photos.

Some cold ramen

Eric, another teacher, reading Animal Farm on the street. Ha.

The other Eric, rocking out. It speaks for itself...

This was my first real dance contest to see. This is a friend from my town. Studying Physics in graduate school, and dancing.

We went indoor rock climbing, which was fun, but I want to get outside.

Again, Karaoke, speaks for itself. By the way, I am an awful singer.

This was a photo with Nich and Hilary, friends from Denver, and two Japanese girls we met.

The baseball game in Osaka. Japanese baseball games are everything you would think, loud and strange. But lots of fun.

I never posted this one from March, but this is the Castle near me during the Cherry Blossom Festival.

Another picture in Kyoto with the crew. We had a great time.

cool.

That's it. bye bye.
