So I came to Japan mid-August (after crying from Dunedin to Waimate). Tokyo was big. The heat hit as soon as I got off the plane: something like 30 degrees. Having just come from winter, it was painful!
After a few days in Tokyo, I flew to my ken (like a state in America) called Yamaguchi. It was 36 degrees and I wanted to die. Got heat stroke pretty bad and went through a 'what the hell am I doing here? Biggest mistake of my life!' kind of moment. Luckily I got through it and haven't looked back since.
Thank god there are 4 other kiwis in my city (Hagi). We hang out alot. Except for this weekend: they've all gone camping and I'm staying behind.
I teach at elementary and junior high schools (6 to 15 years old). Some days are great, others suck arse!
So far I've made it to Hiroshima, Miyajima and a penis shrine. What a life.
Stay tuned for updates.
