The blog of a young British woman taking on a new life in Japan as an assistant language teacher. No, I've never been to Japan before this, I don't speak the language, nor have I ever stood up in front of a class and taught before. This should be interesting...

Sayonara...

Well, hours before departure and I'm sat in an internet cafe just grabbing some last minute info about my travel arrangements. This is after finally getting the packing done-which I hate doing at the best of times, but this time was not much fun at all- 20kg is NOT a decent luggage allowance- I've had to leave behind so much :(

Thank you for the last two days of Sayonara San dos- and for everyone who made the effort to see me before that as well. I feel very loved. I'll be putting the pics up on this blog and my msn space, and I will update this as soon as is possible.

Annoyingly I'm fighting back the tears as I type, I've been crying on and off intermittedly since yesterday night when it all finally sunk in that I was going, so right now I feel like crap but hopefully that should pass soon.

Gotta go- next time you hear from me I'll be in Japan...
