He likes it Ok, but he is a little bit the same as he is not sure whether this is what he wants to do for the rest of his life or not. But he earns decent money, even though he sometimes puts in crazy hours. I will be posting later tonight on the decisions that I have made etc. So come back to check that out! Hi Katie,

If you don't mind me asking, what does Shumpei do for a job?. I'm curious about what he's like. P.S. If you don’t mind me asking, what does Shumpei do for a job?. I’m curious about what he’s like.

Sounds like it was really stressful for you. I'm sure it was good experience for you and at least you can say you tried. The last thing you want to do is stress yourself out. Life in Tokyo is stressful enough as it is without having a demanding job. Try something else and really take time to think carefully about whats best for you now and in the future. Ganbatte ne!.

Don't actually drink beer (I know how un-australian am I?) but almost all other alcohol is OK!!! I will send you a mail when things have settled down a little. Jen- typepad is cool!! I like it anyway! It is a shame about your blogger account though. I will try to update everyone on stuff later today as some stuff has been decided! Deb- Thanks for your nice comments! I am very luck to have such a supportive family and boyfriend and friends...This made me realize it even more! Adam- haha! Thanks mate. Maybe I could be like D'Jen and see if I could find a way to be paid to be awesome! Nicole- Thanks. I have had an interview with a school and it looks as if I might start soon I think. It will involve a lot of study if I want to pass though, I have kind of left it A LITTLE BIT LATE perhaps! GG- Hey, yeah I would love to meet up sometime.
