I had a great tme hiking with my 1st year junior high kids last week. They are very delightful, energetic and oh-so well-behaved!
I also got to know one of the teachers, and we went to an onsen (outdoor resort hotbath) after the hike and we also hung out yesterday.
The good news is that I finally got my Japanese mobile phone. 6 weeks after I arrive! But I had help when I went to pick it up; I didn't realise until my friend/colleague/fellow teacher translated everything how much I'd not picked up with my limited Japanese.
I am now slightly sunburnt and slightly peeling.
We went to Mt Tanigawa. Here's a pic:
I noticed quite a number of posts on the flist about the recent "buttons" that LJ had added. I confess that it took me a while to figure out what they were referring to... suffice to say, there has been a lot of demands of not posting to twitter or FB. And some people have even totally abandoned LJ entirely.
For the record, my dreamwidth username is also mcalex22. And I do cross-post at times... though not always since I keep forgetting. It's easier to do so when I have access to semagic. And I'd like to emphasise that I have no intention of reposting anyone's comments/posts etc to Twitter, Facebook or anywhere else.
Hell, if you know me, you'd know that I'd ask your permission before even reposting in my LJ. I do have a FB and twitter but my FB is incredibly private and for networking. I keep in touch with people the bunch of people I work with and my family abroad. I have not set up a username and I have no intention of ever mixing LJ and Facebook.
