Hello to anyone and everyone reading this! I thought it was about time I started a blog about my time living in working in Japan, 3 and a half months in... Better late than never I guess.  This first post will be just a general recap of my time here so far, the ups and downs of living in a foreign country, the sights I've seen so far and working as an English teacher in Japan!  So let's start from the beginning. After all, it's a very good place to start! January: I arrived to a beautiful, clear, crisp day in Tokyo, temperature around 8-10 degrees, about a 20 degree drop from summer in New Zealand! The first day was all about the sight seeing, so mum and I attempted to tackle Shibuya and Harajuku after an 11 hour flight... Maybe not the wisest idea, but it was good to get a lay of the land and suss out the metro system.  We then retreated to the hotel at around 3pm before heading out for dinner at around 6pm before promptly crashing into bed by 7.30! The next day...
