Hey there everyone
I apologise to those of you who I wrote back to late during the week. My internet connection had been down until today, so I had no access. Hope you are all keeping well.
This week has flown by as usual and I dont know where the time has gone. Last Monday and Tuesday I was busy with uni all day, including a major debate in one of my classes on whether the United Nations is needed in the international system. I argued that we do need it, and we won the debate! Happy about that! Considering I want to work there in the future, it was a good sign that everyone was supportive of its continuation.
I taught English on Monday night to one of my regular students and again had another lesson at the YY School on Wednesday and Friday which kept me busy, while being able to save some money too.
Kazuya had the day off on Wednesday, so we went for a long walk along the river and relaxed together. He bought a bike earlier in the week so I used that to ride to the English school for work.
Thursday and Friday I had uni again, and taught English both days once class had finished.
On Friday night I met up with some new friends and we headed to Ageha, a massive club for the boys, if you know what I mean. It holds about 6, 000 people, and includes 3 massive dancefloors and an outdoor pool, which featured some frolicking young men. Madonna performed at this club when she recently came to Japan, and we were treated to a performance by Matsuda Seiko, Japans biggest gay pop icon. The appropriately named *darkroom* was an inticing place to be but one I managed to avoid. Kazuya wasnt with me as he had to work. I joined 3 friends, one whom works at the SILS office at my uni. A nice guy.We danced until 6am before catching the first train home!! I slept all day on Saturday to revitalise myself, before going to another party last night. My friend Hiro, whom I met in Australia, hosted the party and I didnt stay out much past 1am as my legs were very sore from all the dancing from the previous night. Both great parties though.
This week it is Golden Week in Japan, a series of public holidays beginning on Wednesday. I am going away with Kazuya for one day to Kamakura this Wednesday, before travelling down south to see my host family in Okayama and then to go and meet Kazuyas family in Yamaguchi on Monday-week. Will be away for about 7 days. Flying back into Tokyo on Wednesday 10th May.
Have a great week everyone and speak soon
