Hello there everyone!  Or should I say minna-san! Our journey began from Phoenix at 2:30am and did not end until the following day at around 6:00am.  Yes.  I was tired.  My first complaint is that the stuwardesses forgot to call in my vegetarian meals and when they informed me...

I have been on summer vacation now, and it feels wonderful.  I have been mostly playing video games and reading manga.  Which is really nice.  I don't think I would ever be able to work constantly year round.  That is why teaching English would be a very good idea.   In...

On December 14th, I will have a skating show.  It is not a competition it is just a showcase meant to be entertaining.  I do not know the exact time of the event, once I learn this information I will be sure to post it.  It will take place at BOTH Oceanside Ice Arena and Arcadia Ice...
