I've been slack

Yeah i'm still alive and still n Japan but i have been very slack with my Blog lately...

I'm working for NOVA again, but at a different branch (Koiwa). However, i still go to my old branch (Kinshicho) on Fridays, which means i can catch up with old staff and students.

So, i've been working 20 hours a week again. I had survived the NOVA break financially by teaching private students, but i have handed most of them to a mate.

Since my last post, i have been surfing a few more times (it's bloody freezing now), went snowboarding in Niigata and had a snow onsen, and have ben going clubbing most weekends...

I fly back to Oz on Feb 7th and i have a pretty full schedule until then. We start NOVA holidays next Friday and i'm going with some friends to Niigata for a few days, where we will stay in a hotel and go snowboarding. In early January i'm going on a surfing trip to Taiwan for 4 days (short i know!) with some Japanese friends. I go back to work on the 7th of Januarty and on the 14th i have a mate from Australia visiting me. He leaves on the 24th and on the 25th, my mum and sister are coming to Tokyo! They are then staying until Feb 7th, which is the day i fly out too...

I finish work on Jan 31st and am planning to travel to Kyoto and Nara for a few days with my mum and sis.

I start my new job on February 11th. I'll be working at a McLaren Vale winery called Kangarilla Road Winery. Not sure what my plans are for next year yet but i may head to Europe or back to the US for a grape harvest.

I will miss Japan but i'm sure i will return in the future...

I'm sure i will post again before i leave, but if not, Ja ne (goodbye!)

Thanks to those people who sent me emails and questions, hope my blog or answers helped you out. If ur one of those people who missed out comig to Japan because NOVA folded, don't fret, they will probably be recruiting overseas again in no time as business seems to be improving under guidance of the new company.

Ok, Take care.
