"San, Ni, Ich, Cheeezu!!"

On Friday night we got in to my favourite restaurant here, Doma Doma

I am in Japan!!! A long way from Adelaide, Australia, but here I am in Shizuoka for a year teaching at an English Kindergarten while seeing and experiencing as much of this crazy, mixed up, amazing country as I can!

"Toot toot chugga chugga big red car, we'll travel near and we'll travel fa-a-ar!" Just thought Id treat you to one of the songs we have been practising for Christmas Concert 2006. Man this thing is going to be a production! But Im sure there will be more whinging about that later.

Right now its time to have a look at what Mum, Dad, Gran, Marissa and I did in Shizuoka. This blog also features various kindy children at Sports Day- another production! Dont the Japanese know how to do anything by halves??

Hi Aims
Hey Amy D, great pics again. Loved the little tackers at sports day. As for dorky family photos, don't worry it happens in my family too. Some genetic trait that insists on surviving the blood line I guess. Gotta love 'em all the same! So Have you eaten any cockcroahes and scorpions yet? I think I'd rather fire walk?. So this rabbit walks into a bar, jumps up on the bar stool and orders a beer and a ham n cheese toasted sandwich, the barman thinks, yeah Ok. So the rabbit eats his toasty and drinks his beers and hops out. The next day in hops the rabbit, jumps up on the bar stool and orders a beer and a ham n cheese toasted sandwich. The Barman brings it out the rabbit proceeds to eat his toasty and drink his beer and then hops out. The next day, by this time a hugh crowd is gathering, the same again, in hops the rabbit, jumps up on the bar stool and orders a beer and a ham n cheese toasted sandwich. The barman says, "look I'm sorry mate, I'm outa ham, seeing how you're good for business, how about I make you a special onion and cheese toasted sandwich instead and have a free beer on me?" The rabbit agrees, eats his toasty and drink his beer and then hops out. Well the next day goes by and another and another, a week, a month and no show of the rabbit. Then one day outa the blue in hops this ghost of a rabbit and hops up on the bar stool. The barman says " Mate, where have you been? I was doing a roaring trade, I even put on extra staff to cater for just you!" The Rabbit says " well you know that special onion and cheese toasted sandwich you made ?, it bloody well killed me!" The barman says " whatya mean it killed ya, I make them all the time for people around here, nobody has died yet! How did you die? the rabbit says, " simple. I died from mix-n-mytoasties" ha ha ha ha ha. I know, belly wobbles all round?. Gotta go. Bloog ya soon. Ben

Great photos, seems like the 'Hall's' had their very own little National Lampoon's Vacation. Leave your Dad alone too, your Hall girl's pick on him! Thanks for the postcard too, just got it today, although it's probably been in my letterbox for a week, yes i'm slack and dont go near the stupid letterbox in fear of more bills to pay! I'm off to Melb this weekend for Derby Day races, should be a cracker! We'll im excited by it, pales into insignifigance comapred to your adventures, but for me it's exciting! Ha! Feeling a little worse for wear last few days, had a HUGE night Saturday, thing i got my drink spiked, or food poisining as i was driving the porcelan bus all Sunday, and it couldn't have been the alcohol, NO WAY!! I'm blaming other things! We'll i had better go, hey when you get this entry, let me know ph number again over there and i'll give you a call.

Hello you! Them there photos of the kids are so cute! I don't want to put words into your mouth but do you think my joke about the number eight was better than Ben's rabbit one? "Yes, of course I do, Graham, Definitely." Thanks so much for the ongoing help with Japan although bear in mind that I might not even bother going abroad ever again, actually, when I can just carry on temping down the local firestation for £8.30 an hour (less tax) and live with my Mum and Dad like a 26-year-old LOSER, sniff sniff...
