I’m writing from school... on a Saturday! I still haven’t gotten used to it! I read this funny article yesterday in an English language Japanese newspaper. It was about the governments campaign to create lower costs for the summer by reducing the use of air conditioning. Their slogan is something like ‘no tie no jacket’ (really creative). Anyway the (and I’m not kidding) necktie union of Japan is threatening to sue! They say the slogan unnecessarily singles out their product and will hurt their sales. Just a bit of interesting news, right! Stuff you always wanted to know! By the way, I’m sending you all rain, I don’t want anymore! But it really hurts Japans economy in a big way if they don’t have a rainy season. That doesn’t mean I have to enjoy the it though. Whenever it rains I have to... WALK!! home instead of riding my bike, hehe. The travesty!
Right now everyone is in the computer lab researching Australia for their class trip in October, which I can’t go on (cry). But I’m making sure they bring me back Tim Tams! They don’t have those in America do they? Oh, I forgot to mention my karaoke trip. I went this Wednesday with my host sisters. We spent six hours stuffing our faces with free ice cream and do it yourself cotton candy. I think I ate 6 ice cream cones, I guess that works out to one per every hour, not to bad ;-P I sang the Sesame Street theme song! They had the Alphabet song but I opted not to do that one, even though I’m sure it would have been exciting! Well, that’s it for now! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer breaks!! No fair ^_~

Hi, my name is Hannah and welcome to my blog ‘Tales of a Gaijin’. I started this blog several years ago to share the experiences of my first exchange to Japan and now I’m heading back again. My days of being an exchange student are over (silent tear). This time I am taking on Japan and the big scary ‘real world’. I hope you will join me, whether again or for the first time, as I experience Japan as an employee of a Japanese company (and of course, as a gaijin^^).
