Sorry I haven't written for a little while.
I haven’t been busy, it's just that we haven’t done anything interesting lately.
I have been looking for a job and applied for a short term shelving job at a craft shop, but it was so popular that didn’t want any more workers.
I also applied for an online translating job. You receive an email, translate in either English or Japanese and email them back. I did a test sample of the type of work they expect me to do, and I am still waiting to hear from the company.

As I have too much time in my hands, I have been planning a few trips in Japan. I would like to go with my family but they have jobs to consider and it has been difficult getting everyone together. However, I managed to plan a trip to Okinawa, the southern most island in Japan, at the end of Feb. Okinawa has a tropical climate therefore it is much warmer than the mainland.

We are planning to stay at a resort with 2 outdoor pools, one indoor pool and a golf course. There is also a spa on the hotel room balcony with an ocean view. (Meg, you are totally missing out!!!) Life is tough isn’t it?


I am thinking of my teaching friends who have gone back to work. Do I miss them? Yes I do. Do I miss being back to work? NO, I DON’T. Sorry!!

But for now, Rob is enjoying swimming and gym everyday, and I am enjoying planning trips and baking bread.
