"Finding My Feet" - Being the second mail to escape to the Occident world

Hey everyone!

It's me again and this time I'm writing from my school (Higa Shiura Junior HIgh School to be precise) for I have finally found a computer in Awaji. Hooray!

I'll be quick because it's near the end of the day and I'm not sure how much time I have to play with - although you lot are probably getting settled in what with the crazy 8hr time difference.

Well here I am in a nutshell (cue mental image...):

- The Tokyo induction was quite fun and very interesting, especillay chatting with all the crazy foreign types from all over the world. There were Americans (naturally...), Aussies, Kiwis, South Africaaaaans, Canadians ay, Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Jamaicans too! It was good for getting some good resources and contact details although I think the actual training will very much be on the job so to speak.

- I'm in a smallish town on an island called Awaji near Kobe and Osaka.

- It's hugely hot and humid. Roughly the same as the hottest days we had the other week but this will last until september.

- I've spent the last couple of days sorting bank accounts and such which has been quite fun but also tiring

- I have a suspicion that I am one of three english speaking people within ten miles. Best get learning the old Nihongo eh?!

- Yesterday I visited the four schools that I will be teaching in. I'll be at the main Junior High School (12-14 yr olds) from tuesday till friday and will visit one of three elementary (5-11yr olds) each monday.

- Today I gave my introduction speech to the 234 kids and they were quite smiley.

And now it's time to "Do One" as I've taught one of my new frieds who loves idioms.

I miss you all loads and hope you're having lots of splashing fun as the soggy wet England water falls from the air - as opposed to here where the water
is the air. : )\n \nThanks to everyone who replied - I\'ll get back to you as soon as I can.\n \nKim, I know exactly how you feel. I\'m there for you darlin even when I\'m here.x\n \nI hope all the Atcherson clan are ok. My love is out to all there too - even if it\'s a bit late.\n \nAlso for all my new contacts my first email follows below.... Again, if there\'s anyone who you think might like an email please let me know.\n \nUntil next time boys and girls!\n \nWill.x\n \n<<>>",1]
