merry xmas, happy new year, ake ome, blah bla bla, salamat datang?, jaojfieajoihafe
hi
the recent zero degree winter weather has frozen my motivation to write any posts...
i experienced my first japanese christmas the other day. the two big religions here are buddhism and shinto, and christmas being a christian celebration, the japanese version of it is a tad warped (as you might expect). it is a hugely commercial event, which is the same in australia i suppose, but what everyone does here is spend a romantic christmas eve with their lover (or family in the case of those without, i guess). and christmas day for a lot of people is business as usual, with the salarymen and office ladies heading to work, students going to school to attend clubs etc. etc. even most of the people in this family spent the holiday in the office.
i am currently on winter holiday. havent got many plans apart from going out with friends, birthdays etc. etc. i return home in exactly 3 months from january the 10th. then i have to WORK. WORK!! such a foreign word to me.. but believe it or not, i'll find a job .... then it's off to griffith in 2007. it feels nice to have a plan.
here's a list of bands that you must check out:
the dillinger escape plan
dir en grey
postal service
nightmare
kings of leon
white stripes
mad capsule markets
pageninetynine
shai hulud
converge
the departure
incubus
between the buried and me

Hi Paul...
I think I found your blog randomly, by searching stuff about Japan. I'd like to know, what is the program you've gone to Japan with ? And I want to kill you because you're so very lucky to be there T_T Damn you. If I could, I'd like to be your worst nightmare. Just wait and see >_<
hello. i went with Student Exchange Australia. i don't know where you live, but there are tons of exchange companies worldwide that go to japan.
yes, i am very lucky, and japan is the best place on earth, i'm so sad you can't be here to experience it. don't kill me
i'm from France, yeah i'm sure there are programs like yours, but not for the very me that (unfortunately) don't speak japanese. Or it's very expensive. *o*
But, hey, i WILL go to Japan, it's just a matter of time ! ^o^ And by the time you will be back to Australia and i can laugh at you and be evil and naughty. i can't wait.
that's weird. of all the exchange program i know, japanese skills aren't necessary. usually for the european programs, english is the major requirement. just have a search around, i know 4 french exchange students here
Well, sorry to bother you, but if you don't mind could you please ask these french students what program did they use ? ^o^
postal service are fab
hiiiiii paul
