Weekend starts here
Another week over (albeit, a shorter week than usual) and another two days to recover and enjoy Japan before lessons again on Monday.
My original plan for this weekend was to meet my brother and his girlfriend in Tokyo and see the Tokyo Games Show and maybe take in a bit of Sumo too. But, alas, he had to use his holiday money to repair his car and can;t afford to come for the moment.
So instead I'm going to go on Lopaka's trip to Obuse. Lopake is the Regional Advisor for teh ALT in and around Tokamachi and Muikamachi. So he's organised this weekend away so we can all hang out and get to know the new ALTs. I've been to Obuse before (once with Helen, once with my brothers and once with one of my teachers) and love the place. It's only a small village but it has so many interesting things to see; galleries, museums, bonsais, gardens, chestnut ice-cream. We'll stay in a ryokan on Saturday night and then on Sunday we'll got to the Monkey onsen before driving back home.
Should be a nice, relaxing weekend, which is just perfect before the high-tension of next weekend's footy tournament.

Wassup my friend,
Shit that we couldn`t go to that show this weekend, I apologise... I really would have if I could have... But I will be seeing you next weekend in Nagano anyway so we`ll get to catch up on things then... Have a good week...
Was in Ginza today having and had a look at the PS3 and the blu-ray players at the Sony building... Unbelievable...
