Gomen...

Ummm, anyone still out there?

Another epic gap between posts; this time due to large scale (like blue-whale sized) technical difficulties; specifically my computer suffering from a Chernobyl-esque metdown that left it completely inoperable.

The upside is that I'm typing this on my brand new Japanoputer, which is a mondo-sexy Sony Vaio (I'll leave out the geek-drooling for now, suffice to say that I'm very impressed with the keyboard action).

Anyway, I promise to get back to uploading all the entries I've been taking copious (and manually recorded) notes on throughout my adventures, and there are adventures to be recounted... trust me.

So stay tuned... GTS is back, and as wryfully detached as ever.

Hurrah! Great Teacher Shaun has returned!

Megatokyo ripoffs ftw, btw.

Yaaaay! Shaun hasn't been eaten by a giant creature or trampled by random fan mobs!!

Looking forward to the updates! Take care of yourself!

Look forward to reading more about all your adventures. Computer sounds great. I'm writing this on my new Dell laptop ... just doesn't seem to compare, but I'm confident it can withstand a nuclear blast or a blast of equal magnitude. Yes, I believe this Dell laptop could survive even if it were in the middle of the sun, so it craps all over your new laptop that's for sure.

Let me know what organisation you went through to go & teach in Japan - my brother is interested in teaching over there. Me too for that matter. :-)

Good to hear from y'all! It warms my cockles that you're still coming round here;!

many thanks for the good wishes (or wishes that I don't die at least) :P Keep reading the Megatokyo gals! It really is scary accurate about life over here.:D

Well gee Time, I dumped MY laptop in a black-hole where it traveled to a parallel dimension and destroyed an army of megamaniacal lizard people, then it won the Nobel prize for eliminating flatulence; so who's your laptops daddy now, BI-ATCH!! ;P

Seriously, I'm working for a company called AEON (there's a link on my blog to their website). The JET program seems pretty competitive, but it's a great program... otherwise the corporations are pretty decent too; I wouldn't recommend NOVA at the moment because they're going bankrupt really soon, but AEON, GEOS or ECC are all good choices and I haven't heard any complaints. Lemme know if either of you are heading over here!

Thanks for the words of wisdom, and my laptop graciously accepts defecate, I mean defeat (seriously, that was a typo and I was going to correct it, but then I thought it would be funnier if I left it in).

Taking one day at a time at my s***house boring job ... ;-)

Missing the video nights ...

Hey Stranger Sensai! ..hows that rusty Japanese going? Whats it like over there - anything like ol' Canberra (a.k.a. frostyville)?

Hey Shaun! I read about Nova... hmm badical! So how are you faring? The house is still in order, we nearly lost your trolley last house inspection though :S

Atm I'm just studying for exams, only two left and then I am DONE! ^_^ As you can tell I am in procrastination mode... I told you I'm going to Sweden in December? I wanted to make the stop over in Japan but it was effectively going to double the price of the ticket... so I will have to wait until I save up more money and come next year (unless of course you come home! :D)

So any idea what your plans are next year?
