Chilly

It's chilly now in Japan. The days still generate some warmth, but when the sun goes down its time to pull out the kerosene heater and stay warm. Mornings are the worst. I have to get out of bed, turn on the heaters and then go hide in bed until its warm enough to exist in my appartment. The tricky thing about the kerosene heater is that you have to open the window every 90 minutes or so or you start to breath in the fumes and that can cause problems for your lungs.

I got home at 4am on sunday morning. Not a wise decision so stay out so long since I had commited to riding with my friends in Shiuoka. We shuttled up the hill and I got to see a new ride location in Japan. It was nice, fast and loamy. We had to stop once in a while to move around fallen trees sorta like the Mt Fuji trip.

If you haven't been paying attention, I went to Kyoto last week. Here are the pics from that trip.

English teaching has been going well. Having pictures to show your students is a really good way to practice your english conversation. Sensei and I have been trying to advertise a bit more. No takers yet but at least efforts are being made. Hopefully we get a few nibbles by January.

Anyways, hope all is good in Vancouver. Take care all.
