Begin orientation and training tomorrow. NOVA has been in the news again and some people are saying it is the last straw for the company and it may be the beginning of their demise. But it is a large corporation so i think it should be ok, at least for a while...
Last few days have mainly been spent organising things i.e VISA, bank account etc. Have had a few walks around the area of the house, trying to familiarise myself with the neighbourhood. Its considered a fairly quiet area, but we still have 3 gyms, fast food retaurants, karaoke bars, 3 supermarkets, and a heap of Japanese traditional bars (Izakaya) and noodle bars.
Did karaoke last night, just here at Gyotoku. We started off the night at an Izakaya (first drinks were at 11pm!) then proceeded to the karaoke venue. We had the room from 12am to 5am, so it was alot of singing! After a few hours we were kinda sick of it, but the Japanese people we were with kept singing right up till close at 5am... Im sure they would have gladly kept going if the place hadn't closed... They love Japanese pop music over here, which is termed J-Pop. Foreign bands that are big over here seem to include Good Charlotte, Green Day, Avril Lavigne (spelling??), Michelle Branch and Kelly Clarkson.
I didn't take my camera last night so no karaoke photos, but im sure it wont be my last karaoke session.
I might trek off to bed
Oyasuminasai (good night)

Hey Bro,
Good to hear you arrived safe and sound. I finally got wireless internet at home so I can stay up to date with what's happening with you over there!
You'll learn to love Karaoke, especially the places that have all-you-can-drink deals....
