So its been an intresting 2 weeks here in Japan with adventure and SCHOOL???

So first off I have loved my experience so far....it was a little stressful the first week because of our training and all but once we both got into it everything started seeming more right :D I have to say that the change from big city to rural area is quite shocking not that the density of the buildings changes that much but more of the old looking Japan seems to jump right out at you. There have been so many beautiful sights and I'm afraid that I have been lacking in the camera department for the last two weeks because of the training and all. But none the less I have picks for all to view and the second we get into our permanent housing (which is in a day :P) I will be back on the I love lamp.....I mean I love camera binge again.

So this is the name of the company that we work for I took the time to write it out on this toothpick (click to view) eat your heart out rice guy who writes names on rice :P





So this is our first training session in a classroom Marsha and Julia are taking the picks but this is all of us in the Osaka crew Yo...and our trainer the mighty Glenn.





This is a little seat that one of the JT's (Japanese Teacher) has for her self in the classroom....and yes I want one....and yes it might be pink too XD






Julia's mock class with some very bad boys (left to right: Nathan (Crazy Ausie), Brian, Brett & in the background Roger (AKA the boys from BC)






Lara (Larr-Ra)(Finlandish), Brett & Crazy Nate waitn' for our a drinkie poo's after class Mmmmmm booze.







Mmmmmmm Temple lishous (this was behind my first class room building where I taught my first class by myself)






So many statues in rural areas. This was beside the building where my first class was.







This Buddha's palm was so inviting to sit upon....but I did not because I also thought he might pinch my bum!?!? (it was larger than a sidewalk bench)






Oooop another temple they are so beautiful and simple.








Up the stairs of destiny to our class with Glenn.








For all you electro geeks like me this is where you want to go in Osaka right by Umeda station floor after floor of games, Tv's, cameras.....*Drool**Bizarchhhh* Oops...hey I can't afford that!!!!





This is the door to one of the classes that I taught in and unfortunately I cannot show you the inside (company policy people) :D






Here we are gambling for kids play blocks during a brake from class :) (the house always wins)







On the way to my last teaching class I saw this building in the distance if you click on the pick you can kinda see that it looks hand sculpted.....very neat...I would have gone closer but class can't wait.





Test day and last day of training.....First Girls Club Marsha (London England), Lara & Julia.







Boys Club....Left to right: Brett, Roger, Brian, Nate & Me Bill in the back ;D







And last but not least Group photo....So Glenn is on the left side with me and the Japanese girl with Nathan....I apologize to her but we met briefly and I cannot remember her name.





Dinner with the lad's and lady's for our last night all together except for Lara who had to catch a train for her placement.....and crap Roger why did you have to go to the bathroom dammit!!!!!





So thats all I have for the training portion of our trip like I said I was very busy and kept forgetting to take pictures when I actuality had the time too....So next is some of the weird labels and kool drinks section so go to it y'all.
anyways
