2 1/2 weeks

That's how long I have left in Japan.

Sometimes after my day is over and I'm coming back home from school or the gym, I think, wow look at all those interesting things that happened to me today. I should write it on my blog. Then I get lazy, come home, and watch a movie or TV show.

Not today! Well, actually, it was stuff that happened yesterday.

1. I've been going to my gym for 10 months now. Yesterday was the FIRST time someone said something to me in the locker room. This lady asked me, whilst we were both naked, if I liked the Japanese baths. Well, yes, I do like them indeed. Thank you for asking ;) (as opposed to just staring at me like I'm an alien).

2. I had a class of 14 students do a quick 25 minute collage using PEOPLE magazines from home, then they had to talk about it in English. As I walk around, a group of boys are looking at this one article/picture. It was a set of 4 pictures of the latest "Project:Runway" star showing you how he styles his hair. The first picture was him parting his hair, the second was him with a straightener, the third had a blowdryer, and the fourth ... I dunno, maybe hairspray. The boys are oogling over this picture going "Oh...Sougoiiiiiii..." (Cooooolllllll). Oh Japan. Here is a pic of the guy---
I guess I forgot to mention that the boys here spend more time on their hair than the girls. The girls spend more time on their makeup instead of their hair. But the "cooler" you are as a guy, that means the more feminine your hair looks. This includes colorful clippy things, sky-high hair, and other dramatic affects.

3. I got loads of cookies and cakes from my girls, along with cute letters saying how much they love me :) I am going to miss my students so much!!

4. Starting to pack up now. Packing is going to succck! I have one box done, and a few more to go ...

5. One of my students is one of the best junior golfers in Japan and he just left for Torrey Pines Golf Course this weekend for the junior world championships!

6. I am climbing Mt. Fuji this weekend. Pray for me.

I know there were other interesting things, I just can't remember ...

Oh, and its flipping hot here!!!!!!
